The simple act of creating shifts me into a different state of mind. It pulls me away from my day job and my naturally logical way of thinking, and into something more intuitive and present.

Painting, in particular, becomes a space for that transition. I’m drawn to abstraction because it removes the need for a fixed outcome. Forms, color, and movement develop gradually, built through layers, adjustments, and response rather than strict planning.

There is a meditative quality to the process—quiet, focused, and often unexpected. What begins as a simple idea can shift significantly as the work evolves, revealing relationships between shape, balance, and composition that weren’t initially there.

While much of my painting has been exploratory and loose, I am beginning to introduce more structure into the work. The intention is not to control the process, but to give it a stronger foundation while still allowing space for intuition.

Each piece becomes a record of that balance between logic and release, structure and spontaneity.
