Spaces Painting

I’ve always like the smell of acrylic and oil-based paints, even the smell of thinner. My favorite pastime has always been mixing and playing with paint. It’s interesting to me how colors mix and how the overlap; they add to one another and balance one another out. Sometimes I like to think to myself that the whole world can fit on one palette. Every piece for me is like a mini adventure that I set off on; a part of the world that I have never explored before. Sometime I have an approximate “map” in my head, which I rely on. Sometimes I don’t. There is only an inner push that whispers to me: “It is time to move” and I start to paint. If I can manage to stop the influx of my thoughts and fully concentrate on my process, then that is a state of pure bliss. Usually something organic will appear on my canvas. And to my surprise, when I step away from my work, I’ll realize that certain images are present from the outside world and my memories. I have been painting for a long time just for my own pleasure, but recently, it seemed to me that it could be interesting to other people.
