In this piece from the Storm Riders series, a silhouette rises, absorbed in a fiery dance with the dawn. Its dark, almost spectral form merges into a whirlwind of incandescent red and golden bursts, while a tricolor dripping drapes around it, clinging to its movements like a train in perpetual transformation. It seems to waver between grounding and flight, guided by an invisible force, as if responding to the call of the rising day. The background, painted in acrylic in the spirit of the Hudson River School, breathes a vibrant atmosphere where light pierces through the clouds in an explosion of fiery hues. Spirals of red and ochre intertwine, evoking the birth of a new day, a storm of light in full expansion. Here, the canvas does not capture a frozen moment, but a transition, an ascension—one of a being carried by the force of the sky, in a dance where shadow and light merge into a single momentum.
