Rise baby rise! Painting

The truth is, I dared to fail at everything else in my life, that was not my life, and finally, accepting in my 30s that I couldn't not paint a single more day of my life. It's scary to jump head-on into something that's so scary and potent and have absolutely no idea how your life is going to look after you open this door. But hey, here I am, it's been 5 years and what painting has taught me about myself in this period, surpasses any lesson I had before this. The hyper-sensorial world I feel in any given moment, people's emotions and mine combined, this Molotov cocktail of life that sets my heart on fire, is the engine behind my paintings, it's my way to swim through this intense existence and reach the other shore with fairly intact sanity. So hei, if they helped me, then they can help you too. This is my gift to you. The bridge between human emotion and our capacity to integrate it.
