Painting description

The painting is composed of comic-book-like panels, blacks and cool grays contrasting the neon pink that guides the eye along the train car windows and sharply angled stairs. The figures are simplified, contoured, as if cut out, and the geometric shapes of the subway structure the frame. There's an atmosphere of coldness and urgency, a silence that rings in the ears. This woman sits on the train and has a phone. The graphic style is evident: flat acrylic splashes, perhaps a touch of spray paint, and precise lines create a mural effect. There's a loneliness to this, a truly dense one. I feel tension and a slight twinge in my stomach, because I know those morning runs. The inscription at the top suggests anticipation and a fast-paced life, but more important are the empty spaces between people, some unnamed moments. I think, and I catch myself looking at it as if it were a mirror.
