Color Before Language

About this work

Colour resonates with me before language forms, guiding my response before I can articulate my thoughts. My process begins with colour, which shapes the floral forms as they emerge. I intentionally leave some awkward marks, as they reflect aspects of myself. The finished canvas achieves a balance I rarely find in daily life, allowing contradictions to coexist without resolution. Colour leads me to this place before I can reason my way there. Shipping: Free worldwide shipping is included. For delivery to the UK and selected EU countries, I will ship this painting stretched on its wooden bars and ready to hang. For all other destinations, it will be carefully rolled and shipped in a protective tube and will need to be restretched locally. Please contact me before purchasing if you would prefer stretched delivery to another country.
