Colored Fireballs (2023) is an eruption — not of destruction, but of color, vitality, and energy uncontained. At 72 x 72 inches, this acrylic painting is one of the most vibrant in the Ephemeral Atmosphere Collection, capturing the fleeting brilliance of moments too intense to last.

Across the surface, orbs of saturated pigment explode outward: crimson, lemon yellow, neon pink, cobalt, and acidic green. Each burst is layered with velocity — trails of motion, echoes of energy. The background recedes in cool grays and black, offering contrast and calm, like deep space pierced by fireworks.

I created this piece in a moment of creative exuberance — the kind of instinctual flow that feels like dancing with the brush. The fireballs are not literal. They are sensations. Expressions of joy, friction, chaos, and clarity all colliding in one expansive gesture.

This work finds kinship with the explosive energy of Yayoi Kusama, particularly her early abstract paintings filled with dots and neural bursts. Like Kusama, I see repetition and impact as ways to reach the infinite.

Colored Fireballs doesn’t follow a narrative. It celebrates impact — the beauty of a mark made with full force, the joy of color set free. It is loud, but it also listens. It pulses with presence.

As part of the Ephemeral Atmosphere Collection, this piece invites you to feel before you think. To surrender to the heat and hue of the moment.
