It’s no game. Believe me, she is a woman of far greater complexity than you—or anyone—realize. The secrets inside her mind are like flowers in a garden at nighttime, filling the darkness with perfume. Oh, she has extraordinary charm. Next to that secret charm of hers, her talent as a poet is really only a sort of costume.”
(Fumiko Enchi, Masks)
 
In creating this piece, I chose a vibrant theme of nocturnal blooms, rendered in a burst of abstract knifestrokes, with oil as my medium. The dynamic strokes and contrasting hues of purples, whites, and blacks evoke the mystique and hidden vitality of flowers thriving in the darkness. This artwork is a celebration of resilience and beauty in unanticipated environments, aiming to inspire a sense of wonder and reflection in your space.
