(SOLD) Primal Hesitation "Making a Decision"

Happy to share that my work Primal Hesitation “making a decision” has been sold by Singulart online gallery and will soon be heading to a collector in Spain. The work is 16 x 20 inches and acrylic on canvas.

Delve into the raw intensity of “Primal Hesitation (Making A Decision),” an original abstract painting measuring 16 x 20 inches, crafted by the visionary artist Nestor Toro. This compelling piece captures the tension and instinctual pause of primal forces, offering a striking addition for collectors seeking to infuse their space with bold emotion and artistic depth.

Created with fluid acrylics, the painting pulses with a vivid, primal palette that evokes the untamed wilderness. Dominant greens and yellows form a lush, vibrant base, suggesting the wild growth of nature, while bold reds and pinks slash through like bursts of passion or danger. Subtle oranges and purples add complexity, hinting at the mystery of instinct, with blacks and whites providing contrast and texture, enhancing the sense of movement and conflict. The colors layer in dynamic, vertical strokes and textured drips, creating a rich, almost tactile surface that invites viewers to feel the hesitation within.

Stylistically, “Primal Hesitation” embodies abstract expressionism, with gestural, energetic movements that reflect Nestor Toro’s exploration of primal emotions and natural rhythms. Inspired by the chaotic beauty of the wild, the painting echoes the influence of Jackson Pollock’s action painting and Mark Rothko’s emotive layering, yet stands as a distinctly original vision. Its vertical forms evoke towering trees or the stance of a hesitant creature, inviting personal interpretation and a sense of raw, instinctual energy.

Here are a few photos of the work.
