Abstract art is my expressive outlet for feelings and inner emotions, born from reflections on life. Without plans or explanations, I create spontaneous compositions by delving into my inner self. As a lifelong diarist who struggles with verbal expression, painting allows me to communicate without words. Unlike words, paintings can carry hidden messages and meanings, unrevealed and open to interpretation. Like me, my paintings don't reveal the whole story; they conceal and mix layers to mask the true meaning behind the emotions. Art liberates me from the perfectionism of daily life, offering moments of visual and emotional gratification. Embracing risk and the unexpected details that arise during the process, abstract painting grants me the sought-after freedom. Through layering wet oil paint, I relish the thrill of chance, the unknown, and the infinite. As patterns and colors emerge and layers reveal themselves, the painting takes shape. The interplay of color, gesture, scraping, and layering allows unintentional combinations to surface. Ultimately, a spontaneous illusion of space materializes, becoming an additional page in my diary.
