Obsessed with Paint's Metamorphosis I am utterly captivated by paint, not just for its final form, but for its entire transformative journey. The thick, almost muddy viscosity gives way to a dry, surprisingly supple skin – a testament to paint's remarkable metamorphosis. I layer it on, each stroke a slow germination, fusing with the one before to create a self-sufficient entity. It becomes more than paint – a seductive, skin-like plastic that forms its own world. The creatures that emerge from this process are both unsettling and strangely familiar. They exist in a liminal space, blurring the line between living being and its painted representation.

These beings dance with the grotesque, finding a precarious beauty in a life forever bound by gravity.

 

Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colours flowers, so does art colour life. ― John Lubbock
