It began almost like an intuition, not a precise spark. I was drawn to the idea that feelings could be made visible, that energy itself could become a form you can see and sense. The collection grew from following that impulse.

Childhood is a big part of it. When we were kids, we could see feelings in everything like colors, shapes, even empty spaces. I try to hold on to that way of seeing when I work.

Feelings are hard to explain in words, but on canvas they can become visible. Strength might be a bold field of color, shyness could be a softer edge and the eyes, doubt might be the look from the eyes. I create by letting feelings move into form.

The unfinished is important to me. It’s like a pause in music, what isn’t there lets the viewer imagine, and that makes the piece complete.

For me, observing and being observed are part of the same loop. When you stand in front of a work, you’re not only looking, you’re also being met by a gaze that carries weight. That tension is where the energy sits.

Color is like energy made visible. It can be soft or heavy, bold or fragile. I use it the way someone might use their voice, to express what can’t be said.

It comes from putting things against each other as colors, forms, feelings. When they push and don’t fully fit, the tension appears on its own.

I want the work to have presence, to carry its own pulse. It’s not planned, but I hope it moves in a way that feels alive to whoever is looking.

Sometimes an emotion whispers first, but often it comes through the act of making from the brush, the shape, the color. The energy finds its own way into the work.

Definitely the beginning. Energy is endless and each piece teaches me something new, I want to keep exploring it in different ways.
