All and None
Collection | 2024
This collection delves deeper into the act of painting and viewing, foregoing any stakes or message to capture the totality of a moment on the canvas. Mimicking life, the painting's value is as a vehicle for a journey: the journey of expression for the painter, and the call to explore inner landscapes for the viewer.
