This painting grows out of the artist’s everyday observations and travels, often beginning from a small visual or intuitive spark. The image develops fluidly, sometimes shifting or transforming entirely as color, shape, and composition guide its direction. Through sustained looking and reflection, the work settles into a quiet presence, designed to unfold slowly and reward prolonged attention amid the noise and speed of contemporary life.
