Thoughts on The Artist being The Art
I recently watched The Warhol Diaries on Netflix. It’s about the iconic artist Andy Warhol. During one episode, they mentioned the concept of an artist becoming the art, and I thought this was interesting because of how it connects to personal branding. Andy didn’t just make art; he was art. His carefully curated public image […]
Thoughts on The Benefits of Revisiting Your Past Artwork

But there’s a lot of value in revisiting where you’ve been as an artist. One of the biggest reasons? Perspective. When you’re in the middle of making something, it’s […]
Thoughts on what makes something a work of art
Recently, I was playing a board game with a good friend when, out of nowhere, the name Mark Rothko came up. I immediately perked up—there was no way anyone else at the table knew who he was, right? Rothko’s work tends to divide people, so in my enthusiasm, I jumped at the chance to explain […]
Whispers of the Horizon
This abstract painting invites the viewer into a serene, atmospheric world of texture and subtle movement. A harmonious blend of soft blues and earthy browns evokes the transition between sky and land, as if capturing the quiet moment of dawn or dusk. The vertical drips suggest the gentle pull of gravity, like rain streaking down a window, while layers of textured collage details hint at hidden stories and messages beneath the surface. Faint traces of text and organic patterns give the piece an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality, encouraging introspection and a sense of calm. The overall effect is both grounding and uplifting, a poetic reminder of nature’s beauty and quiet resilience.

Gratitude isn’t just a warm, fuzzy feeling. It’s a tool. And if you use it right, it can change the way you see your life—for the better. Let’s be real: it’s easy to forget the good stuff. The stress, the problems, the annoying little things pile up, and suddenly, your focus is on everything going […]
Dance of Storm and Sea
A serene and textured representation of the sea during an approaching storm. The palette primarily features shades of blue and green, which blend into one another, evoking the cool, soothing qualities and colors of an energetic body of water. The lighter tones suggest the reflections on the water’s surface or the shoreline, while the deeper, richer hues toward the middle represent the vast, expansive depths of the sea or the threat of the approaching turbulence.
Thoughts on The Power of Simplicity in Abstract Art
Abstract art is often seen as a visual playground, a space where rules are loosened, and creativity can run wild. However, while abstract art gives artists a certain freedom from the confines of realism, not every brushstroke or splash of paint always leads to a masterpiece. Sometimes, less is really more. In a genre already […]
