Cycle of Life Painting

It was only as I gradually changed direction into the world of abstraction that I was able to fully express my emotions and feelings through my work. The complex geometric forms that I constructed and painted on large canvases were well received, and for a while I listened to the praise of what others were saying rather than my heart, which was telling me that this approach wasn't the right one for me. Painting abstractly, allows me to explore everything that my heart wants to share rather than feeling constrained by geometric boxes. My abstract art is highly charged with emotion and represents my innermost feelings. People who own my artwork have said it makes them feel understood. Just as I feel things strongly when I paint, my audience feel strongly when they encounter my work. Even if the emotion they experience is different, the painting serves us both. When I’m painting, I visualise my experiences and emotions and they guide my palette knife to bring to the canvas what’s inside me. It’s like a form of meditation that allows me to process my experiences. My artwork gives the owner a chance to feel and an intriguing space to explore and escape from the world, just as I do when creating the work. The artwork can blur the lines between what is real or not, as they become part of it through a connection of shared emotion. The right piece of art helps you to create your own stories in what you can see. The right painting speaks to you and the feeling it evokes stays with you long after viewing it. With my art, your heart will tell you which one to choose.
