I create because art is my voice - the one that survived when words couldn’t. Painting became my way to speak, to heal, and to connect. Watercolour is my language of honesty: it doesn’t tolerate pressure, it reveals truth through softness. My work explores the fragile rhythm of modern life against the timeless presence of architecture and nature. Through layers of light and pigment, I pause fleeting moments - reflections on stone, whispers of cities, the stillness between movements. Each piece is a dialogue between memory and the present, between silence and visibility. I paint as an act of gentle resistance - to noise, to haste, to the inherited idea that beauty must come from struggle. My paintings are not about perfection but about attention - the kind that heals by simply noticing. For me, watercolour is both meditation and protest, both tenderness and strength. It teaches me trust: to let go of control, to allow flow, to breathe. Through it, I reclaim my own balance - and invite the viewer to find theirs.
