This work began about six or seven months before it was completed — originally as part of my monochrome ROUGH series. Powerful, expressive, raw. And yet, it remained unfinished for a long time. Something was missing. The final layer, the decisive impulse. The icing on the cake, as they say.

In the end, it became clear: it didn’t want to be monochrome. It wanted color. And with that came movement, transformation, vitality. What started as a monochromatic statement evolved into a layered painting that not only reflects change — it embodies it.

SOMETIMES THINGS JUST CHANGE. A title that doesn’t just name the work, but describes it. This piece is a visual testament to the fact that art — like life — sometimes takes unexpected turns. But it also copes with them and grows from them. And that's precisely where strength lies.
