In my journey as a watercolorist, I've developed a controlled, photorealistic approach, focusing meticulously on the interplay of light and darkness. But in recent years, a desire to break free from these constraints has led me down an unexpected path—abstract acrylic painting. This series, We Need More Abstract: Break Boundaries, reflects my exploration beyond realism, challenging my natural tendency toward precision and planning.

​

Each piece in this collection embodies a moment of creative freedom, translating emotions, fleeting impressions, and reactions to my surroundings into vivid colors, playful shapes, and dynamic compositions. These small, abstract works are more than exercises in color and form; they are acts of spontaneity, spaces where I embrace imperfection and relinquish control. This process is my way of pushing boundaries, allowing art to be a liberating escape, a celebration of intuition, and a test of my willingness to let go. Through this series, I strive to capture the essence of a moment rather than its exactness, marking a vibrant shift in my artistic journey.
