Roux emerges from a confluence of movement and color, an abstract embodiment of the male form that resists definition yet commands presence. The vivid reds, oranges, and yellows ripple against a darkened, textured field—an energy caught between flame and shadow. In this side profile, the figure’s contours unfold like a whispered incantation, where the absence of a defined head invites the viewer into a space beyond the corporeal, reaching toward something elemental and elusive. This work is a dialogue with vibration itself, an exploration of how fluidity and intensity intertwine to evoke both form and feeling. Roux is part of a continuing meditation on the body as a vessel for energy and transformation, to be read not only in shape but in the layered resonance of color and motion.

In "Barqan," I delve into the enigmatic presence of the Jin known as the ‘Black King’—Al-Malik Al-Aswad. This oil on canvas measures 32 by 50 inches, where the figure’s talisman intricately weaves through the composition, accompanied by extraordinary helpers that hint at otherworldly forces. Barqan is not a mere myth; he is a teacher of dark magic, commanding the shadows with knowledge meant to challenge and harm. Through rich, vibrant color and decisive brushwork, the painting emanates a potent energy that lingers beyond the surface, inviting you into a realm where the unseen and the arcane take form. This work continues my exploration of powerful male archetypes, capturing an intensity both unsettling and captivating.
