"I explore the intricate dance between inner desires, self-worth, and the transformative power of action. Each painting is a visual symphony, orchestrated with layers of acrylic paint that mirror the layers of our subconscious and aspirations. The process begins with an underpainting, a silent canvas awaiting the revelation of what lies beneath the surface. As I apply subsequent layers of paint, I am reminded of the delicate balance between seizing opportunities and the fleeting nature of time. Just as the open time of acrylic is fleeting, so too are the moments in life when action must be taken before it's too late. Inspired by the anticipation of revealing hidden rewards in scratch cards, I employ a technique of scraping away layers of paint to unveil the underlying narrative. This act of revealing is symbolic of the journey towards self-realization and the desire to manifest our true selves to the world."
