My painting process involves applying multiple layers of gradient colors with large brushes. I mask gestural forms, then attempts to reapply earlier compositions from memory. This approach highlights the contrast between past and present moments, revealing the almost real-time evolution of my work. Each layer not only adds depth but also creates a dialogue between what has been and what is currently unfolding on the canvas.
