Named after the gemstone, Amethyst embodies the rich violet hues of its namesake—deeply meditative, shrouded in mystery, and evocative of night vision. Figures drift through the darkness, their presence ghostly and elusive, enveloped in a warm, humid, almost tropical haze.

Sometimes, a painting is simply about color. Amethyst serves as a moment of stillness within the series—a quiet interlude amid more dynamic compositions, a chance to cleanse the palette in every sense. Both a visual breather and a painter’s reset, it creates space to absorb, reflect, and recalibrate before plunging back into more intense works. The deep, saturated purple dominates—calm yet charged, mysterious yet grounding—like a deep breath translated into color.
