This modern work of art, captivating in its apparent simplicity and the intensity of its composition, is a remarkable example of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Dominated by bursts of brown color, projected explosively onto an immaculate white canvas, the painting creates a powerful and captivating dynamic. The splashes appear to burst from the center of the canvas, creating a sense of movement and raw energy. Paint splashes form arabesques and organic patterns, evoking both spontaneity and control, chaos and order. The pops of brown contrast sharply with the pops of black, forming an impactful juxtaposition that immediately captures the viewer's eye. The black lines, fine and sinuous, add a calligraphic and delicate dimension to the composition. These lines, although random in appearance, seem to guide the eye through the chromatic explosion, providing a sense of direction and structure within the visual tumult. Texture is also a key component of this work. The density and distribution of splatters creates a variety of textures, from tiny, delicate dots to larger, thicker spots, adding a tactile richness to the visual experience. In short, this work is a celebration of spontaneity and raw emotion, captured in a moment where gesture and material meet in an extraordinary way. She embodies the very essence of abstract expressionism, where the act of painting becomes a performance and each burst of color a manifestation of the artist's emotional intensity.

Presentation
Olivier Toma born in 1965 in Paris, self-taught, committed artist, paints for more than 25 years by borrowing from the nature its pigments. It is a full plastics technician, passionate about artwork, fascinated by cave paintings; he works as well the paint as the India ink.
Since his first exhibition in 2002 in The Hague, Olivier Toma's paintings were very regularly exhibited in France and in Europe. Through the painting he expresses feelings and intuitions, he tries to stimulate our senses through his works, he likes melting spices for fawn colors or cocoa or coffee, collected according to his far away journeys, for degraded chestnuts: "I mix products which do not like each other necessarily. I harmonize them.".
His monumental artworks, full of energy, changeable, are the fusion of the abstract art and the calligraphy, in some cases inspired by the oriental, Latin or Hebraic writings. His personal commitment for the sustainable development and the health leads him to look for new gestures and for new materials, which he integrates into his creations. In his "laboratory" in Béziers, he produces his own paper based on vegetables and on his palette we find volcano ground, spices or tobacco… Olivier Toma, prolix artist, arrives at a global and natural creation, a "paw" in the previous history of the earth.
In 2014, he crosses the borders of Europe and showcases for the first time in New York ART EXPO.
