Among Ancient Ruins An evocative abstract expressionist painting, thick with impasto texture, capturing a towering, hooded figure with sprawling wings, straddling the line between angelic and demonic. The figure stands in the center of an ancient ruin, pillars and crumbling stone arches framed in raw, bold strokes around it. The background is a dark, weathered red, with dripping lines like blood seeping through old stone. The figure emerges as though from the shadows of forgotten ages, its wings almost blending into the heavy, layered textures. The composition’s symmetry and rough, gritty impasto style give the piece an eerie, timeless atmosphere
