Tilt: Finding Balance in the Unexpected

Not all balance is symmetrical. Some compositions walk the line with tension, energy, and a little bit of bold rebellion.

That’s what inspired Tilt—a 5-foot wide by 4-foot tall piece that plays with imbalance and polish in all the right ways.

At first glance, Tilt is light and airy. The palette begins with soft yellows, creams, and gentle neutrals, all brought to life under a thick, glass-like layer of epoxy resin. It’s glossy, reflective—almost glowing in the right light. But beneath that shine is where the real edge reveals itself.

Across the surface, unexpected bursts of black and deep violet cut through the softness—bold, confident marks that sit proudly above the resin, giving the piece depth and tactile energy.

These strokes are intentionally uneven, offset, almost teetering across the canvas. Yet somehow, they hold the whole composition together, drawing your eye across the surface in a rhythmic sway.

The name Tilt came naturally. It’s about embracing tension, letting things feel slightly off without losing their center.


This piece doesn’t follow traditional rules of harmony—it creates its own, proving that true balance doesn’t require perfect symmetry.


Tilt is modern, a little unpredictable, and full of personality.


It reflects a mindset that values movement over perfection, character over control—and it's a reminder that sometimes, the most grounded pieces are the ones brave enough to lean.
