Faded Monsters unfolds as a brooding, introspective abstract: an emotional landscape shaped by memory, reckoning, and quiet transformation. The dominant field of phthalo turquoise and deep burgundy establishes a dark, almost submerged atmosphere, evoking the weight of a past that lingers heavily beneath the surface. These tones bleed into darker teal, near-black passages, suggesting shadowed forms or “monsters” not clearly defined, but felt as remnants of old fears, regrets, and unresolved experiences.
Layered within this darkness are lighter burgundies and muted grays, softened and worn, as if time has eroded their sharpness. They feel reflective rather than violent, echoes rather than wounds. They mark moments of introspection where the past is no longer overwhelming but still present. Subtle touches of light turquoise flicker through the composition, like brief inhalations of clarity, hinting at awareness beginning to break through the weight.
The emotional turning point emerges in the warmth of peach and vermilion. These brighter tones glow against the surrounding darkness, carrying the energy of a new dawn. They do not erase the deep teal, black, and phthalo turquoise; instead, they coexist, illuminating them from within. The peach suggests tenderness and healing, while vermilion introduces vitality and courage, a pulse of life moving forward.
Together, the colors create a tension between what has been and what is becoming. Faded Monsters is not about conquering the dark past, but acknowledging it and allowing light to seep into its edges. The awakening brought by turquoise, peach, and vermilion feels earned, quiet, and human: a moment where reflection gives way to renewal, and the darkness, though still present, no longer defines the whole.
