"Following the pandemic, there was a marked shift towards embracing a balanced lifestyle. Working remotely allowed for a newfound focus on self-care, and the media capitalised on this trend. Magazines began to discuss topics such as mindfulness and relaxation, responding to the need for security in trying times. A key part of looking after oneself is attending to both the physical and emotional aspects of our lives, and recognising our emotions is a way to act on them.

 

The freedom of the brushstroke in my painting, the tension in space, and the precision of the composition translate a balance and open up the space to let the imagination travel through emotions. This is for me the Essence of Art and this is the Power of Change.”
