The Story Behind My Paintings: Letting Emotion Lead the Brush

Letting Emotion Lead the Brush

People often ask me, “What is this painting about?” or “What were you thinking when you created this?” And the honest answer is—I wasn't thinking. I was feeling.

I don’t begin with an idea,I begin with a color.

There is no sketch, no theme, no title in mind. I simply pick up a brush, choose a color that speaks to me in that moment, and start moving it across the canvas. Sometimes it’s a calm blue. Sometimes a restless red. Each stroke is a response to my mood—whether I’m grounded, anxious, joyful, or lost in thought.

That first color sets the tone. Then the painting slowly begins to reveal itself—not like a plan unfolding, but like a mood expressing itself visually. I follow where it leads.

 

My art doesn’t speak in words—it speaks in feelings.

There’s something beautiful about not knowing where you're going, but trusting the process. My hands move, the colors blend, the textures form—and suddenly, a feeling that I couldn’t explain in words is now on the canvas.

Is it joy? Is it confusion? Peace? A memory I didn’t know I was holding? Maybe all of them at once.

This is why I love abstract art. It doesn’t force you to “understand” it. It invites you to feel it.

 

The meaning is yours to find.

Each viewer brings their own thoughts, memories, and emotions to a painting. What you see in my art might be completely different from what I felt while creating it—and that’s the beauty of it.

A single piece can be soft comfort to one person, and a storm of emotion to another. I don’t explain my paintings too much. I want you to explore them freely, without limits.

 

Why I Paint This Way

I don’t paint to impress. I paint to express.

For me, painting is therapy. It’s my language when I have no words. It helps me understand myself in ways that conversation never could. Every painting is a moment I’ve lived, translated into color and form.

Final Thoughts: Next time you stand in front of one of my paintings, I invite you to pause. Let go of the need to “figure it out.” Instead, ask yourself: How does this make me feel? What do I see in this chaos Because that, right there, is the story behind my painting.It’s not mine alone anymore—it becomes yours too.
