That Moment, produced in 2016 with acrylic technique on canvas measuring 100×159 cm, is a composition that presents one of the most intense expressions of lyrical abstraction. The title is minimalist and great power lies hidden in this minimalism. "That Moment" — specific, singular, irreversible. Neither past nor future; only that sharp, almost impossible to catch present moment. The work transforms precisely this concept into a visual reality: the brush has chosen to transmit the energy within that moment together with its fluidity rather than freezing it. At the center of the composition lies a large figurative abstraction that seems to embrace the entire canvas. This form is not a definite body; however, it carries the movement, tension and breath of the body. This structure opening to both sides like arms or wings evokes a moment of transformation, a release or a grasp. The strips and curves flowing outward from the center tell us that the moment is not merely a point, but a vibration spreading in every direction. The color language is extremely rich and contrasted. The warm flow of orange, red, yellow and turquoise literally burns over the cold, spatial background formed by dark navy blue and deep green. This contrast — cold infinity with warm moment — makes the conceptual essence of the title visible through color. The small red form in the upper right corner stands as a quiet but determined energy point within all this large composition; like a spark. The brushwork establishes both a powerful and lyrical balance. The rhythm between broad planar areas and thin, curved strips simultaneously presents both the holistic and detailed experience of the moment. The transition points where the paints blend into each other remind us how fluid the boundaries of that moment actually are. That Moment tries to hold the purest and most volatile form of time on canvas. And perhaps its greatest success is this: when the viewer stands before this work, they remember one of their own "that moments" — that moment they cannot define but feel with their entire being.
