Hidden Valley

This piece was created using alcohol inks inspired by the deep colours of earth, roots, and ancient landscapes. I was playing with fluid forms, letting the inks move like molten terrain, riverbeds, and the branching patterns you see in nature when you look closely — tree roots, waterways, cracked soil, and mineral veins.
The gold shifts with the light, creating a feeling of something alive under the surface, and the fine white lines echo the way energy flows through land forms. It’s an intuitive piece, made without a plan, more like letting the colours uncover themselves.

My creative practice is an expression of the transformative power of yoga and meditation manifest through abstract painting and illustration.

Using my experiences in different natural environments as a starting point, I work with the unpredictable medium of alcohol inks to create abstract works with unexpected forms and vibrant earthy colours that mimic the patterns and textures of nature. Working in this way, my practice in itself becomes a form of meditation where I let go of all expectations and agendas to allow myself to become a vessel for creation to manifest through me. The spontaneous nature of the medium of alcohol inks is balanced in a duality with the intentional layering of the illustrated patterns and forms I map on the picture plane, which are intuitively drawn following the rhythm and feeling of the abstractions beneath.

The processes I employ in my pieces therefore reflects the meditative path, from the openness and rawness of our essence and pure awareness, to focusing in and being fully present with the specific moment of creation.
