About The Artwork
What is death? No breath, no life, no hope, no future. Life cannot come from me because I am birthed in brokenness and sin. I have to dive deep, beyond my own capabilities. I have to swim where I cannot stand, deep dark black waters. Only when I give up when I blow out my breath can I take in the breath of life. I die and then I live! Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life. Also, if the butterfly is a symbol of a coming change or transformation, its symbolism depends on the colour of this butterfly. Gold symbolises the purity of the spiritual aspect of “All That Is”. It is symbolic of spirituality and development in the realm of complete understanding, allowing one to both attain and maintain communion with the source of all being. Gold has been called “the master healer”. Blue is the third primary colour. It spiritually signifies the Healing Power of God. It is the most sublime subject and colour which represents, biblically, the Word of God. … The very fact that the Sky is blue stands for the presence of God. Blue also represents meanings of depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, heaven, and intelligence. Water popularly represents life. It can be associated with birth, fertility, and refreshment. In a Christian context, water has many correlations. … Christians are baptized with or in water, symbolizing a purification of the soul, and admission into the faith.

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.
