Title: "Desert Fire" Medium: Oil Pastel on Paper Size: 8x10 inches
In this fiery 8x10 oil pastel painting, towering desert rock formations rise boldly against a dramatic sunset sky, saturated with intense oranges, golds, and crimson. The textured peaks—painted in a dynamic mix of purples, ochres, and deep blacks—suggest formations reminiscent of the American Southwest or Atacama landscapes, with jagged edges and streaks of reflected light. Patches of white and turquoise at the base hint at scrub, rock, or distant haze.
The artist uses a deliberately raw, tactile technique, laying down thick layers of pastel that evoke the heat, grandeur, and isolation of desert environments. The composition vibrates with energy, evoking both Fauvist emotion and expressionist structure, making the viewer feel the dry wind and glowing horizon.
This is a one-of-a-kind original, signed by the artist and part of a limited landscape series exploring the world's extremes through color.
