I have been losing myself in colours since I was a child. I could spend hours surrounded by paper, pencils and paints, creating my own little world.
A world filled with people. Different people, different stories, expressions, glances and emotions. And eventually, that is where I found something that had always fascinated me: people. I love observing them. Looking at a face and wondering what lies behind the eyes. What someone has lived through. What they are feeling. What they are trying to hide or reveal. Perhaps that is why I have now returned to painting with a different perspective. I am drawn to the human figure, not simply as an image, but as an emotion.
The face, the body, the gesture, the gaze. That moment when colour can say something words cannot. And somehow, after all these years, I have found my way back to the child who could disappear for hours among sheets of paper and colours. Only now I know that it was never time wasted. It was a part of myself, simply waiting to return.
