Neglected Notes
Three siblings repurpose a cold kitchen hob as a makeshift recording studio. The pink pastel mimics children’s chalk scribbles and bring to life their imagination. Broad blocks of flat paint interrupt the everyday reality, representing the gaps left by hardworking parents that are stretched for time. This paintings captures the beauty and power that in sibling solidarity can have.

The sun’s hum
Painted to hold a soft, warm kind of quiet. The figure is leaning forward with her eyes lowered, and I kept the brushwork open so the surface stays breathable and human. The blue line work in oil pastel carves through the paint, pushing the background towards pattern. The artist was thinking about the feeling of settling into yourself, and the low, constant comfort of sunlight you can almost hear.

Then I rest
She lies among blossoms, present yet distant. The blue outline shows her detachment from her surroundings. There’s strength in her stillness, but also uncertainty as she searches for her place in the world . The soft greens and warm floral tones contrast with the cool blue edges, while loose, layered brushstrokes hopefully create both texture and fragility.
