2024 ongoing painting works

It all began with writing down numerous notes on my phone. Much like a musician writes lyrics, I was capturing my thoughts. Initially, I posted them as reels and stories on Instagram. The overwhelming reactions I received inspired me to transform these notes into paintings. When I saw the call for the Studio Program, I saw it as the perfect opportunity: I needed a space away from home where I could transfer all these texts from my notes onto paper, carefully selecting them, since I had so many. Typically, I start by applying a black primer, and then layer with white paint to create the letters. The brushstrokes and texture can vary greatly from day to day. It’s always a bit rough, a bit messy, not exactly perfect. But perfectionism isn’t really my thing, not at all. I actually quite enjoy their somewhat raw appearance; it really resonates with me. My performances, for instance, tend to be intense and somewhat trashy. That really captures a lot about my style. The shifting fonts also add to this vibe – it’s not intentional, it just happens naturally.
