In The Shape
Exploring the different facets of art with an open heart is important. Art communicates so much about a place and can evoke cherished memories, sparking our imagination in wonderful ways. Nature offers valuable lessons, and maintaining an open mind allows us to appreciate everything it has to teach.
As I look through my archives, I come across a painting from 1988. Despite its simplicity, the execution radiates spontaneity and joy. Though it is composed of a single tone, this piece has inspired me to embrace new creative approaches. We often become overly consumed by our work, but this painting gently reminds us of the beauty of versatility.
In this work, there is no need for elaborate detail; the perspective is intentionally loose and playful, reminiscent of a child’s unfettered imagination. It invites us into a realm of innocence and purity, providing space for us to project our hopes and dreams. Recently, I’ve been reflecting on the work of classic masters like Rembrandt, who found true expression later in life. His journey toward artistic freedom—no longer constrained by rigid rules—teaches us that there is great value in allowing ourselves to be free and effortless in our creativity.
