The Weight of Staying (2026)
Acrylic on canvas
Size: 50 x 20 cm
I’ve been rather absent here over the past few months. I spent most of this summer observing, reading, writing and collecting, rather than painting. There was a lot to take in, and I didn’t feel like putting much of it onto a canvas.
However, yesterday, on the last day of August, I picked up a brush again for the first time in a while. Unlike most of my usual work, I didn’t plan or sketch anything beforehand; I just went with my feelings and instincts. This was the result. Today also marks the start of a new chapter, as I have started working as a Marketing and Design Strategist.
In two weeks, I will finally begin my Master’s in Painting, which I have been looking forward to since the beginning of the year. After a strange and intense summer, it feels good to have a few new beginnings ahead, and I’m excited to see where they take me.
