This painting showcases a carefully framed composition that delves into the impasto style. The use of thick layers of paint results in a textured surface, amplifying the visual impact of the work. The outcome is a dynamic piece that encourages viewers to engage with its tactile qualities.
My artistic practice is deeply rooted in personal experience. On February 14, 2016, I proposed to my girlfriend, marking a significant moment that I consider the best Valentine's Day of my life. This experience serves as a foundation for my work, exploring themes of love, commitment, and the passage of time. Through various mediums, I aim to convey the emotional depth and complexity of relationships, drawing from both joyful and challenging moments. My pieces invite viewers to reflect on their own experiences of love and connection. By sharing my story, I hope to foster a sense of shared humanity and understanding in the audience.
