CONVERSATION
Something I meant to tell you, do you remember me? is a message to the artist herself. Gratitude, apologies, and memories of lessons from the past moment. It is necessary to have a private conversation with myself, even if time passed and I can’t collect the moments of life.
Here we are, living in a dream. Are we living in a dream? Or just our daily existence of a sugar-coated darkness of fear
Have we forgiven ourselves for past mistakes? Should we tolerate it? Have you said thank you to yourself? Why do we work so hard just to be who we really are?
Are we still chasing after dreams and aspirations?
UNIVERSE
This series serves as a tribute to the unseen energies that assist us in achieving what we desire. Inspired by Paulo Coelho's 'The Alchemist,' this piece explores the concept that 'when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.' It symbolizes the infinite power and magic of the universe, acting as a talisman to amplify our aspirations.

ALL THE GOOD THINGS : THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
In 'The Pursuit of Happiness,' I aim to capture the essence of joy and contentment through the tranquil beauty of the ocean, the rhythmic dance of its waves, and the warmth of a summer sun. This painting is a visual celebration of those precious moments when we find happiness in the simplicity of nature's wonders. The ocean's vastness mirrors our aspirations, while the waves represent life's continuous ebb and flow. The summer sun bathes everything in a golden glow, infusing the scene with a sense of optimism and vitality. Through this artwork, I invite viewers to embrace the serenity of the ocean, feel the embrace of the summer sun, and reflect on their own pursuit of happiness in life's ever-changing tides.
