B-235.1 Painting

I am a self-taught abstract artist who discovered my passion for painting during the solitude of the pandemic. Driven by the lack of access to museum and gallery art, I decided to fill the gap with my own creativity. With just a handful of brushes, tools, and paint, I embarked on a journey of self-expression. I started with paper sketch books but soon found myself drawn to larger canvases, enjoying the way my art can transform and accentuate spaces. My approach to painting is intuitive and adaptive, often beginning with a concept that evolves as the piece develops. I'm not afraid to alter my course midway or even use perceived mistakes as opportunities to experiment. My work combines subtractive art style and intuitive abstract expressionist techniques, and I often create with a single song playing on repeat. This unique fusion allows the music to guide the emotions and ideas I channel onto the canvas. In terms of inspiration, I am deeply influenced by the likes of Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Yayoi Kusama, Zao Wou-Ki, Sam Gilliam, and Jean-Léon Gérôme. Their individual styles and perspectives resonate with me and find their way into my thought process and work.
