"Sometimes There Is a Pause" is a testament to the cyclical nature of creation, a visual record of persistent engagement over fifteen years marked by both fervent activity and quiet contemplation.
Born from the interplay of acrylic and oil paints, interwoven with the tactile dimension of yarn, this piece embodies the starts and stops inherent in any long-term endeavour.
The swirling lines and overlapping fields of color represent the continuous flow of ideas and emotions, a dynamic energy that propels the work forward. Yet, within this vibrant chaos, moments of stillness emerge – the "pauses" suggested by the title. These are the spaces where colors meet and mingle, where textures shift, inviting the viewer to reflect on the transitions and quiet intervals that punctuate life's more active rhythms.
The extended period of creation has allowed for layers of meaning and visual texture to accumulate. Each pause has offered an opportunity for reconsideration, for the emergence of new directions, and for the integration of time itself into the fabric of the artwork.
This painting is not just a finished piece; it is a living artefact of a sustained dialogue between the artist and the evolving canvas, a meditation on time, persistence, and the beauty found in both movement and rest.
