This collection was inspired by the small and big events that brought us solace this year. A blend of pleasure and comfort, these illusive moments were very satisfying to capture in painting form, like savoring a peaceful dream.
Using art as an escape, I aimed to show a sense of ease and enjoyment in this body of work through energizing colors and unbounded forms. Creating this collection was useful in transforming setbacks and replenishing my own emotional reservoir.
