Original artwork description
I started this series on an evening when I couldn't paint anything beautiful. That's when I told myself: stop painting beautiful, paint true. The piece began with a gesture — a body drawn into itself, arms wrapped tightly around it, the way you sit when you want to shield yourself from your own thoughts. I built the background from structural paste applied with a palette knife, in thick, chaotic layers, then worked over it with thin acrylic glazes: Prussian blue, turquoise, indigo, and raw umber. I wanted the body to feel mineral, almost stone; only the hands and feet burn, in burnt sienna and English red — where life still remains. For me, this blue is neither sky nor sea. It's a state of being.
