It feels like the painting is testing me
how deep can I fall into the silence before the heat pulls me back up?
I let myself drift. Sometimes I feel calm, sometimes torn apart.
The center calls to me, but it also swallows me.
The circles that look so peaceful are really full of force and surrender.

And when I can’t look away anymore,
when my breathing starts to follow the rhythm of these invisible waves,
there comes a moment
the moment I feel that fire and stillness are the same thing.
That balance isn’t quiet or still,
but an endless flicker between breaking apart and becoming whole again.

For an artist, there is nothing more inspiring than untouched nature. The soft colors of the sky, the rustling of the leaves, and the play of light create a perfect backdrop for creative moments. When painting under the open sky, they feel at one with nature and can capture its beauty on the canvas.
