The most meaningful and transformative milestone in my artistic journey—following years of formal education and a decade of perseverance in the art world—has been my decision to cease painting entirely for over twelve years. This complete withdrawal, not only from artistic production but also from my creative persona, has granted me the perspective to reflect on that earlier period and to reengage with painting free of expectation. Now, I approach it simply as a way to disconnect for a few hours from the digital realm and immerse myself once more in the visual language of abstract thought.
