Acrylic on canvas 50*60 cm โMy Soulโ, 2025
This painting feels, at least for now, like the most emotionally powerful work I have ever created. Maybe that feeling is just mine โ because I lived through every emotion that shaped it.
I painted it when I learned that someone I knew had lost her child, almost three years old.
As a mother of three, I felt her grief with a depth that shook me. It stayed inside me, and I kept returning to that pain again and again.
Often people look at a bright, textured painting and think, โWhat a beautiful life the artist must have to create something like this.โ
But the truth is that paintings are born from all kinds of emotions โ just like any human life.
It can be the bitterness of loss, the joy of a small achievement, the heaviness of complicated relationships, the happiness of seeing a sunrise, or the simple pride of growing a flower.
So many emotions โ countless โ and the artist pours them all onto the canvas instead of spilling their pain or frustration into the world or onto someone else.
Painting, for an artist, is first of all a way to help oneself.
And only then โ a way to help others feel something, understand something, breathe a little deeper, or find inspiration for their own inner world.
That is how this painting was born.
