2018 Paintings
Colorful Emotions Collection
It’s always hard for me to express my feelings through words because I don’t like to talk about them. When I paint, it transports me to another world by enveloping me into it and everything else around me is no longer in focus. Painting is also a way for me to alleviate my anger and sadness and a way to express my happiness. I want to render those bottled up feelings and emotions within abstract paintings while exploring the meaning of color and selecting them to portray the emotion.
