“In this piece, I used deep blacks and soft whites to create a bold yet gentle contrast, highlighting the delicate form of the feather. The washes of pink and orange splatters at the base add a vibrant touch, symbolizing the warmth and energy rising from the feather's core. My brushwork is loose and fluid, embracing organic transitions and subtle blends that reflect the beautiful complexity of life. Through this painting, I wanted to convey a sense of resilience and harmony, inviting viewers to feel a quiet strength that uplifts the spirit.”
