CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT PAINTINGS

My Art Journey
Memories of opening a new box of crayons on my first day of school still inspire me . Seeing, playing, and experimenting with colour, textures, and contrast motivate me.
Because I love variety, my creative process involves lots of research and exploration. I enjoy being spontaneous and letting my intuition guide me through the adventure of creating.
Nature is also a big influence on my art and often shows up in abstract compositions featuring organic shapes and bold lines resembling water and landscapes. Building layers helps me play with the illusion of movement and depth often leaving little hidden surprises to hunt for.
Knowing when to stop is always the challenge :)
