It’s equally amusing to hear people’s interpretations of my work. I’ve heard the strangest, most far-fetched stories about what one of my paintings supposedly symbolizes, when in reality I maybe was simply drawn to the way the sunlight hit a white shirt. There’s something so intriguing about the way a single image can evoke such different emotions and ideas depending on who’s looking at it.
But for me, the real magic lies in the process. Life moves fast, and so does work, so I try to make painting a slower, more serene experience. It’s not about producing as much as possible, rushing to finish, but about enjoying the journey.
I focus on enjoying every step, and that’s why I constantly challenge myself. I’m always looking for new techniques, different materials, and ways to push the boundaries of what I can do. Some experiments are more successful than others, but that’s all part of the fun.
Recently, I’ve found myself drawn more and more to digital painting. I’ve also started exploring animation, which has been a real challenge. Some of my more traditional artist friends say jokingly that I’ve crossed over to the dark side.
