The painting utilizes a spectrum of warm hues—vivid oranges, yellows, and reds—that mingle with cooler tones of blues and greens, creating a lively and engaging visual experience. These colors seem to be applied with a variety of drawing or painting materials, possibly including oil pastels or crayons, which give the piece a textural diversity and a sense of immediacy.
Waski's use of line is dynamic and appears almost calligraphic. The lines loop, curl, and intersect with each other, creating a sense of depth and movement. The boldness of the lines, coupled with their varied thickness, contributes to an impression of energy and motion, as if capturing a moment of creative fervor.
The overall composition is non-representational, allowing viewers to interpret the forms and movements subjectively. The title 'UNTITLED NO. 3' suggests that this work is part of a series where the artist explores similar themes or techniques, and the lack of a descriptive title invites viewers to impose their personal experiences and emotions onto the artwork.
In essence, 'UNTITLED NO. 3' is a celebration of abstract expressionism, emphasizing the emotional and physical act of painting, the use of color to convey feeling, and the ability of abstract forms to engage the viewer's imagination.

Artists Statement: “My artistic vision taps into the raw emotion of the human experience, defining the spiritual, naturally occurring and man-made forces that surround us. Drawing upon the combinations of these elements creates solid narrative to express my unique interpretation of life today. I derive inspiration from various forms of mythology, observing people and nature, which is used as a catalyst in developing a body of work. The art attempts to capture a state of being by fusing abstract and representational elements together for a new visual language. Overlaying multiple forms and color I want to create a visual stratigraphic exploration of the subject matter, by building surfaces and layers to expose a sense of time and multi dimensional narratives. Having this dialogue offers a unique commentary exposing the venerability of our relationships with each other and the environment, attempting to achieve a balance of ambiguity and tension within the space that captures a fleeting moment in time. These components of the work manifest through the exploration of evolution and change. With the utilization of selective icons, textures and the human form, I share my perceptive awareness through my art.”
