In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, "Notes To Self" is a celebration of the magic found in the small, unremarkable moments that make up our lives. This collection is a reminder to pause, to notice the quiet beauty that surrounds us— the warmth of sunlight filtering through leaves on a quiet afternoon, the first sip of morning coffee in stillness, the soft murmur of rain against a windowpane, the flight of a butterfly, a fleeting smile. These moments, though brief, carry the essence of happiness and connection to the present.

At its core, this collection reflects the belief that real magic lies not in grand gestures, but in the art of paying attention. I look for the poetry of human experience. It is through this act of noticing that life’s subtleties reveal themselves, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. Each piece invites you to find joy in the now, in the delicate balance between serenity and chaos, resilience and vulnerability.

The artwork explores the power of gentleness in a sometimes unforgiving world, showing how even the smallest acts of presence can be transformative. Through the interplay of strength and softness, the portraits delve into the complex relationship between our inner and outer selves, between projection and perception. Clothes serve as both protection and expression, revealing and concealing the soul’s quiet depths.

In these intimate moments of reflection, there is always beauty to be found. In the vast tapestry of existence, where all seem so fleeting and significance elusive, I often feel rather small and insignificant, but every now and then, I know that the balance and harmony that I search for on canvas spill out into the world and change a tiny fragment of it for the better.

"Notes To Self" is an invitation to embrace the everyday, to find contentment in what is, and to realise that even in the smallest moments, there is profound magic.

All paintings are acrylic, ink, and gesso on stretched canvas, unframed, and signed at the back.
