The pandemic plunged us all into a period of darkness. It was there that I found an unexpected source of inspiration and expression. This series is based on textures that tell stories of adversity; each piece represents the complexities and struggles faced. The use of metallic tones became a visual representation of empathy, reflecting human connection and solidarity in difficult times. Using vibrant colors as a symbol of hope amidst uncertainty and chaos. This is how I returned to the world of art, finding beauty and meaning in adversity, transforming each brushstroke into a testament to resilience and light.
