Painting from observation is where my artistic process begins—a way of researching, studying, and truly understanding my subjects. Whether capturing the subtleties of a portrait, the quiet poetry of a still life, or the shifting moods of a landscape en plein air, observing what is directly in front of me is the foundation of my practice. It is through this close attention to detail that I connect with the world around me, translating fleeting moments into something lasting. Observation becomes more than a technique; it is an act of presence, curiosity, and engagement that shapes every aspect of my work.
