"Orange Dream" is more than just a painting—it is a pivotal moment in my artistic evolution. One of my earliest successful abstract works, it became the catalyst for a deeper exploration of intuitive creation. Layers of warm, fiery orange envelop hidden figures, delicate mark-making, and echoes of untold stories, inviting the viewer into a dreamlike state of discovery. This piece is a testament to the magic of surrender—allowing the painting to emerge organically and reveal its own narrative. As I wandered through the process, "Orange Dream" showed me that abstraction could be both expressive and deeply personal. It was the beginning of a journey that shaped me into the artist I am today, proving that within the unknown, there is always something waiting to be found.
