Description
My paintings transform moments into layered, abstract spaces using bold colors, shapes, and dripping oil. Each work is an internal dialogue; an attempt to translate emotion and thought into a visual, irrational space that mirrors the tension between control and release.
Unfinished Trophy Display is a grid structure made with dripped oil paint, forming a map-like pattern. The part-filled squares reflect moments of growth and achievement at this stage. It's also a quiet reflection on past experiences.
