About The Artwork
Step into a world where emotions are laid bare, and the artist’s personal journey unfolds on the canvas. “Emerging from the Shadows” is a poignant abstract painting that captures the artist’s challenging seven-year odyssey, marked by an overwhelming drought of emotions. Through devastating losses, death, betrayal and the heartbreaking trauma of seeing both her parents with Alzheimer’s Dementia, the artist has found herself yearning for the vibrant colours of life, the rejuvenation of spring, and the restoration of joy. In this evocative painting, brushstrokes of deep red intermingle with glimmers of light, symbolizing the artist’s courageous endeavour to understand her emotions and navigate through the depths of despair. Each stroke represents a step forward, a glimpse of resilience, and a search for that flicker of illumination that shines from above. Feel the yearning for life’s kaleidoscope of colors, the longing for the renewal that springs forth from nature’s embrace. As you gaze upon the canvas, you’ll be captivated by the interplay of deep red brushstrokes mingling with delicate glimmers of light. Each stroke tells a tale of resilience, representing a bold stride forward amidst the depths of despair. The artist courageously embarks on a quest to unravel the complexities of her own emotions, guided by the faint glimmers of illumination that beckon from above.

I am an artist who believes in conveying emotions through bold and vibrant colours, using gestural motions and large brushes to engage with the canvas physically. My spontaneous and intuitive approach involves multiple layers, impasto techniques, and experimentation with various materials like charcoal and inks. Influenced by artists such as Karel Appel, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, my work embraces improvisation, emphasising the therapeutic power of art to convey joy and vitality. The core principles of expressiveness, spontaneity, and vibrant colours remain constant throughout my evolving techniques. My abstract creations are windows into a world of hope, joy, and life, serving as beacons of optimism in a world often filled with negativity and despair. They invite viewers to embrace life, find happiness in every moment, and smile in the face of adversity. Constant experimentation and evolution define my approach, and like Karel Appel, I believe in the therapeutic power of art, aiming to convey joy and vitality through my work.
