| ABOUT MY WORK I am working primarily with acrylic on canvas. My paintings are inspired by everyday moments, family, and familiar spaces. I often return to the imagery of a garden — an echo of my childhood memories and a sanctuary where time once seemed to move more slowly. Beyond the personal stories held in these images, I am interested in the sense of connection between ourselves and the world around us. I see life as something fluid and constantly changing, where forms are never entirely separate from one another. Through painting, I try to express this feeling of openness and continuity — a sense of belonging to something larger than our individual experience. I usually start with a scene or a photograph and gradually change it as I paint. I simplify some details and soften others. Using translucent glazes and drips of acrylic, I let parts of the image become blurred or almost disappear. Colours, shapes and layers start to work together in a less literal way, turning a familiar scene into something that feels closer to a memory or a feeling. It is my way of holding onto a moment — capturing it as if it were already becoming a memory while still happening. I am drawn to quiet tenderness, to moments that feel almost weightless, and to the sense of lightness they leave behind. |
