Here Comes The Train

Here Comes the Train, 2022
Acrylic on canvas
30 x 40 in (76 × 102 cm)

In Here Comes the Train, the artist explores the fleeting connections and unspoken interactions that define public spaces. A vibrant assembly of figures, rendered in bold contours and fragmented forms, occupies the foreground—each character immersed in their own reality, yet unconsciously linked by their shared environment. The interplay of striking greens, purples, and oranges evokes a sense of movement and energy, capturing the rhythm of urban life.

Amidst this seemingly ordinary scene, a train emerges, its presence disrupting the solitude of the figures. The arrival of the train becomes a catalyst for a moment of unity—expressions shift, postures change, and the once-isolated individuals become part of a collective experience. Some react with excitement, others with indifference, yet all are momentarily bound by this shared event. Through dynamic composition and expressive abstraction, the artist explores the intersections of routine and spontaneity, capturing the fleeting moments of daily life as individual moments briefly intersect before continuing on their separate paths.
