Determination Painting

As a young boy, I always dreamed of becoming an artist. Art was my way to express intense emotions and find myself in a world that sometimes felt chaotic. Yet, like many of us, I started living up to the expectations of those around me, unconsciously influenced by what others expected of me. That’s how I ended up in the corporate world and lost sight of my artistic aspirations. But at the age of 50, I decided it was time to return to my true passion. I underwent a transformation from businessman to artist and decided to finally follow my childhood dream. That transformation not only set me free, but also enriched my work with a depth and power that only comes from a life full of experiences and changes. My work revolves around the power of transformation and the search for inner peace in the midst of chaos. Each piece is an exploration of emotion and change, challenging viewers to think more deeply about their own journey through life. I strongly believe in the power of color and texture to tell stories beyond words. My paintings carry messages of hope, resilience, and embracing life’s changes. My artistic style is bold, raw, and deeply emotional. I work primarily with acrylic paint on canvas, often using palette knives, pouring techniques, and layered textures to create a sense of depth and dynamism. I draw inspiration from both the raw and subtle in life, and this duality is reflected in my work through the combination of bright colors and organic shapes. Each piece is an uninhibited expression of my inner world, inviting viewers to explore their own emotions and experiences. “Art is my way of navigating life’s chaos, turning raw emotion into something tangible and beautiful, a reminder that transformation is both painful and profoundly powerful.” My work is for those who seek more than just visual beauty; it is for those who seek to feel the depth of emotion and understand the stories behind the brushstrokes. My art is not for the superficial eye; it challenges, inspires, and touches the core of what it means to be human.
