‘Serene’

Of all the colours on the wheel, green is the one humans see most variety in— & of all the colours on the wheel, it’s my favourite to play with.

‘Serene’ came to life in late 2023.

I find it tricky to write about the pieces I paint & why— not because they don’t represent or mean anything, but because painting is feeling. It’s breathing with each stroke, & pausing to take it in between collecting more paint on the brush. It’s expressing emotion through motion. It’s a language in its own when words can’t be articulated. Each piece deliberately numbered without individual titles/names; better portraying this.

This series was finding peace in chaos. A messy blend of acrylic paint & water met the canvas first, as preparation. When dried, multiple layers of oil paint followed— concealing, building, accentuating.
