In Tectonic Blues, Alexander Franco explores the layered emotional landscape of stillness and rupture. With bold horizontal planes and electric contrast between deep indigo and soft whites, the piece evokes a sense of tension beneath the surface — as if something is shifting, breaking free, or silently reforming. This composition captures the poetic geometry of emotional depth, making it ideal for contemporary spaces that value power in restraint.
Artist Statement:
I painted Tectonic Blues in a moment where I felt pulled between two emotional poles — the need for calm, and the force of change. The brushstrokes are both structured and wild. The blues represent the quiet before movement, the whites hold memory, and the orange? It’s the unexpected. I didn’t plan it. It just demanded to exist.
