THE NARROW BLUE LINE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, 1 Painting

My journey as an artist has taken a new turn, leading me from the realm of photography into the captivating world of abstract painting. While I have long identified as a photographic artist, my recent explorations into abstraction have ignited a passion within me that I cannot ignore.The catalyst for this shift came during a period of renovating a room in my ancient home. As layers of paint and plaster were peeled away, revealing centuries of history in intricate patterns and textures, I found myself captivated by the raw beauty of these remnants of time. While I initially incorporated photographs of these discoveries into my work as texture layers, I soon realized that these abstract compositions deserved to take center stage.Thus began my experimentation with oil and cold wax medium, a journey marked by discovery, intuition, and a deep connection to the creative process. Each painting is a dialogue between spontaneity and intention, as I explore the interplay of color, texture, and form to evoke emotions and spark contemplation.Through abstraction, I seek to capture the essence of the unseen, inviting viewers to embark on their own interpretive journey. My work is a celebration of the inherent beauty found in the layers of existence, a testament to the richness of history and the endless possibilities of the present moment.As I continue to delve deeper into the realm of abstract painting, I am driven by a sense of exploration and discovery, guided by the belief that art has the power to transcend boundaries and connect us to the universal language of emotion and experience.
