In the landscape of artistic creation, my mind is both my greatest ally and my most formidable adversary. It is a place where isolation and the absence of dialogue breed the seeds of serial doubt. Doubt, though often seen as a relentless foe, carries the potential to be a helpful companion on the path of creativity, provided it is managed with skill and wisdom.

 Throughout my artistic journey, I've embarked on a myriad of explorations, delving into diverse creative routines, experimenting with a wide range of mediums, and engaging in conversations with fellow artists about techniques and ideas. These endeavours have provided me with valuable insights, broadened my horizons, and fostered growth. However, I have come to realize that unless I am genuine and true to myself, my mind will persist in conjuring fears and doubts.

In response to this internal mayhem, I have found a simple yet profound solution: I paint what quietens my mind. This uncomplicated disposition serves as my guiding light, my artistic North Star. It means that I prioritize authenticity and personal resonance above all else. It signifies a departure from the need for external validation and societal expectations. It reminds me that my art is a reflection of my innermost thoughts’ emotions & experiences, a manifestation of my soul.
