"Cirrus Veil" is vivid soft pastel on black paper. A dramatic sky unfolds in bold washes of teal and burnt orange, where turbulent clouds swirl like ocean currents at dusk. A single shaft of sunlight pierces through the stormy atmosphere. The light fractures as it passes through layers of vapor, creating a luminous pathway that seems almost tangible.

The clouds themselves are a study in contrast as deep teal shadows carve valleys between crests of fiery orange, while the edges glow as if lit from within. There’s a sense of motion in the brushwork, as if the sky might rearrange itself at any moment. The composition feels both vast and intimate, as though capturing the exact instant before a storm breaks.
