This painting started with a completely different idea. I had planned for shades of violet, a certain composition, a certain feel… but something didn’t sit right. Deep down, I knew it wasn’t working—and instead of forcing it, I paused.
After spending quite some time trying to “make it work,” I finally did what artists often resist: I let go. And the moment I did, everything changed—from the structure to the colors. The calm, cool energy of blue took over, but if you look closely, violet still peeks through the layers, like a quiet reminder of where it all began.
What I love most is how all those hidden colors underneath—the ones that didn’t quite make it to the surface—have added texture, depth, and story. It’s not the first time a painting has taken its own direction, and by now, I’ve come to trust that when I follow where it leads, it ends up becoming something even better than I imagined.
This piece is about change. About intuition. And about the beauty that shows up when we stop trying to control everything and simply let things unfold.
