Eggscape
2025, Oil on canvas,
mounted on a wooden stretcher frame —
80 x 100 cm / 31.5 x 39.4 in.

Sometimes, I begin a painting as a sudden idea. Eggscape was born in my mind when I was making scrambled eggs in the kitchen. I noticed eggs hitting a hot pan — the quick crack, the spill, the sizzle. The yolk bursts and flows, merging with the whites as they race outward, chasing the edges, shaping themselves against the heat. I didn’t plan most of what you see here — the forms spread, set, and took shape on their own, just as they do in the pan, with heat deciding what stays soft and what becomes firm.
