An Artist's Reflection on Abstract Art
Some people just can't handle the fact that Picasso and Pollock exist. They want nothing more than a steady diet of fruit bowls and horse portraits. But you know what they say - if a bunch of bright shapes on a canvas is enough to rock your worldview, maybe that's your problem, not mine.
Finding Reality in Abstract Painting
I’m not painting exact scenes or locations – it's more like closing my eyes and feeling the ocean, imagining that wild surf crashing, the water swirling, the waves pulling back and then charging forward again.

The Beauty of Imperfection in Art: Why Perfection is an Illusion
The relentless pursuit of perfection can stifle creativity and innovation, trapping artists in self-imposed limitations and preventing them from taking risks, exploring new techniques, and fully expressing themselves. Instead of chasing an unattainable ideal, artists should find fulfillment by embracing the beauty of imperfection, where every brushstroke, note, or word becomes a unique expression of vision and emotion. By letting go of perfection, they free themselves from self-doubt and anxiety, allowing joy, exploration, and self-discovery to flourish. It is within these imperfections that true artistry emerges, touching hearts, inspiring minds, and leaving a lasting impact.
How the Ocean Shapes My Abstract Art
Living close to the ocean means daily inspiration for my abstract art. I don't paint the sea as it is but rather how it feels to me. It's about expressing a concept, like the essence of the sea, through a mix of subconscious inspiration and personal experience. Abstract art invites interpretation. My goal isn't to dictate what you see but to offer a piece that resonates with you in your own way.
