This style is defined by slashing gesture, smeared energy, and volatile layers of flesh-toned and acidic color that create restless painterly tension. It translates de Kooning’s aggressive sensuality into watercolor through wet abrasion, broken contours, and a surface that feels unstable, urgent, and vividly alive.

A polished academic oil style with disciplined draftsmanship, controlled glazing, and sculptural clarity shaped by neoclassical studio practice. It is recognized by balanced composition, refined edges, and luminous restraint rather than dramatic excess.
