'Rains Edge' has been released as a canvas limited edition canvas print of 1 - 35 only.

This print is part of my series called Silent Paradise, which captures the essence of serene landscapes and tranquil moments. For me, creating these pieces is incredibly calming; it's like entering a meditative state where each detail becomes a form of peaceful expression. I find solace in the creative process, and I believe that sense of calm is reflected in the finished artwork, inviting viewers to experience a moment of serenity within Silent Paradise.

This exclusive print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

Affirmation: Dream makers, make our dreams bloom in grace.
<br>
To experience the seasons, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom around my surroundings, during its flowering season. This is my depiction of a gorgeous Peony flower arrangement I encountered during my visit to Dandenong Ranges on a sunny afternoon. Time froze on that magical moment.
Peony is a symbol of prosperity and peace, especially when displayed in full bloom.
<br>
Flowers always bloom in their own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season. Hope you enjoy this artwork of mine.

Affirmation:
Listen with your heart, speak with love.
<br>
To experience the changing of the seasons and to present moments, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom in my surrounding during its flowering season. This artwork is inspired by the Passion Vine that I spotted in my neighborhood closed to my art studio.
I was fascinated by those interesting fringed petals and splendorous tendrils; the white petals shine bright like precious gems under the sunshine.
<br>
Fun Fact of these unusual blossoms - Passion Flower Essence is used to purify and strengthen one’s connection to unconditional love even nowadays.
A Truly Special and Symbolic Gift- Passion Flower, was named by Roman Catholic priests In the 15th and 16th centuries for the Passion of Jesus Christ. There were old sayings that the flower's five petals and five petallike sepals represented the 10 faithful apostles. As for the circle of filaments in the center of the flower, stands for the Crown of Thorns.
<br>
This artwork is painted during the lockdown, a special isolation diary that I wrote with my paintbrushes. Flowers always bloom in their own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season.
Hope you enjoy this artwork of mine.
<br>
-Bloom like flowers -
In this signature series of mine, flowers as the object represent life itself to me.
Our own will to be alive, and the way we want to be alive.
While I carefully paint these tiny flower petals or built up those fine leaves’ vines, it is like the way we try to figure out those uncertainties, furthermore, to be able to be closer to the truth a little bit more.

Acrylic paint on loose linen. Canvas size is 107 x 72cm with about 25mm of unpainted border.
Based on sketches and compositional watercolour studies exploring the beauty and imperfection of human body.
This painting has been influenced by Shostakovich's Symphony No.7 in C major, also called Leningrad. Also by music of Miles Davis and Eric Dolphy.
It was finished in few intensive painting days, with little overpainting and few corrections. Painted mostly in 'alla prima' impressionistic style.
It can be displayed very simply, pinned on wall, or hanging off rails. If framing is preferred option, float framing would be a good choice.
It can be, but not necessarily, framed under glass or it can be stretched on a wooden stretcher frame.
Painting will be rolled posted in a large diameter cardboard tube.
Artist's inspiration and title came from Henry Miller's novel with the same name in 1930s Paris, when he was an obscure, penniless writer.
