“I began this painting inspired by a stunning scene from a photograph that captured my imagination. With a vision to reinterpret it through my own palette, I chose a favorite hue of blue that resonates deeply with me.
As I continued, I found myself hesitating, almost afraid to add more, not wanting to lose the effortless movement that had appeared. The natural movement of the strokes felt alive, as though they were capturing more than just a scene-they were capturing a feeling, a flow. It made me pause and reflect: How often do we stop ourselves, afraid that by moving forward, we might lose something beautiful?
I realized then that this piece wasn’t about finishing or perfecting it—it was about honoring the energy it already held.
In that moment of reflection, I decided to add just one more layer of color, letting the movement remain free and untouched by realism. I resisted shaping the flowers or making them look realistic. For me, this piece is about the pure movement, the vibrancy, and the feeling of life coursing through it. It’s been a journey of trusting the process, allowing the painting to evolve naturally without forcing it into something more defined.
There’s a certain magic in letting go—in realizing that not everything needs to be shaped or defined.
Sometimes, the most profound beauty comes from allowing things to simply exist, in their raw, unfinished form.
In that space, I found the real magic-letting the painting breathe and become what it was meant to be.”
