With so much darkness consuming the world, I have always felt a very real need for bold, beautiful, vibrant colors to brighten up the world!
My drive to paint colorful artworks happen especially around the wintertime when in Canada, we have much shorter hours of sunlight. Along with the intuitive fusion of bright hues and slightly variating art styles, this series of oil portrait paintings was born out of my documentation of the specific introspective stages, which I was undergoing over the course of 2 years. The unique artworks are subtle yet effective, provoking the viewer to connect to their own experiences.
I hope that these colorful paintings bring you joy, light, and moments of beautiful self-reflection!
