”Listen to silence. It has so much to say.” Rumi

Whisper - it is my subtle, delicate, gentle conversation with you. Whether such conversation begins with a whisper, a startled look, or a furrowed brow.
I would like to whisper a story about her, about beauty, a butterfly and a flower or her closed eyes. Create a bit of a magical scene or inner world where she likes to escape. She doesn’t have a name and she has a different face on each painting. She can be any of us. She takes her strength in her fragility - femininity’s true beauty - in which she believes.
Living an overwhelmed life, full of anxiousness and exhaustion, trying to 
live up to a multi-tasking ideal, She still likes to have a flower beside her, 
a intimate artefact like a… bag or dragonfly shoes - just to give a lighter 
touch and balance the seriousness of life.

“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world 
for the moment,” Georgia O’Keeffe once said.

Flowers have special, much more important purpose than decorating, 
in my paintings. Over the centuries, artists have captured the rich symbolism of flowers. Mine are meant to enhance feminine fragility and beauty.
Flowers intrigue me with their unique beauty and it is such a pleasing endeavour painting them. It always presents a challenge when it comes to colours and forms. It’s like working with an abstract theme which in conclusion becomes representative.
