These paintings are small acts of clarity, made in quiet moments using gouache (for the most part). It is a way for clearing space for stillness, for softness, and for what feels quietly true.
The line-based ones, especially, feel grounding. A kind of slow meditation. Drawn in one sitting, like a pause held on paper.
They’re not a series, but they seem to speak the same language. Of birds, branches, and unspoken things.
My paintings mostly begin without a strict plan, and grows from there. One line or one block of color at a time.
Painted in flame red, perylene maroon and raw sienna on A4 Arches paper.
A dense, branching form that nearly filled the page. Pushing against its edges with overlapping leaves, hands, and soft shapes. A drawing of growth under pressure.
