Burnout is strange. One moment, you’re full of energy, passion, and drive; the next, it’s like a switch flips, and suddenly, everything feels heavy. I’ve always struggled with pushing through those moments, with finding something to hold on to when my fire feels like it’s gone out. But over time, I’ve realized that even in my most exhausted states, something within me still lingers—some small ember that refuses to die.

That’s where ‘LIMINAL’ comes in. It started as just a painting, a visual representation of how I feel when I’m drained but not entirely empty. A burned-out matchstick, smoke curling above it, the flame seemingly gone—except for the smallest red glow still pulsing at its core. But as I painted, it became something more.

That night, I almost didn’t create at all, because the day before, I had tried and failed, staring at a blank canvas with nothing to give. I had no motivation, no drive. But my mum, sensing this, gently nudged me: “Just start ”. She didn’t push or insist—just stayed close, making sure I didn’t retreat back into myself. And as I worked, she sat with me in the living room until 2 a.m., fighting sleep but refusing to leave. She wasn’t actively doing anything, but her presence alone was enough. Enough to remind me that even when I feel like I have nothing left, I am never truly alone.

That’s what this blog is really about—the people who unknowingly keep us going. After God, my parents are my greatest source of warmth, and beyond them, my friends, who don’t even realise the weight of the small things they do. A simple message, a kind word, a presence that says, “I see you”. These are the things that keep my spark alive.

I’ve written before about how art gives people a glimpse into my world, about how music shapes the way I create. But this? This is different. This is about why I keep creating at all. Because no matter how many times I burn out, I always find my way back. Not just because of me, but because of the people who—whether they realise it or not—refuse to let my fire go out completely.

‘LIMINAL’ is for them. And this post is a reminder to anyone who feels like they’ve burned out completely—sometimes, the smallest spark is all you need.

Art and music have always been intertwined, two languages that speak directly to the soul. For me, that connection isn’t just abstract—it’s essential to how I create. I always have music on while I paint—sometimes it’s a song with lyrics that mirror my emotions, and other times it’s just an instrumental that lets my thoughts drift. Either way, music isn’t just background noise; it shapes every brushstroke, colour choice, and layer of meaning in my work.  

When I listen to music, I don’t just hear it—I feel it. I tune into the melody, the subtle shifts in instrumentation, and the lyrics that carry weight beyond words. Even though I don’t have any musical talent, music pulls me in deeply, and that emotional connection finds its way onto my canvas. My art is a visual echo of the feelings music stirs within me.  

My most recent painting, ‘TETHERED ’, is a perfect example of this connection. While creating it, I was immersed in "I Won’t Let Go" by Claudia Isaki. The song reflects the exact tension I was trying to capture—the push and pull of emotions, the feeling of drifting while still being anchored by something greater. The deep purple silhouette represents introspection and quiet strength, while the swirling hues of light blue, yellow, rose, crimson red, and white embody the chaotic beauty of raw emotion. 

Just like the song, the painting speaks to the balance between surrendering to what we feel and finding steady ground beneath it all.  

This dialogue between music and art flows through almost everything I create. Sometimes it’s a lyric that sparks an idea, or a rhythm that guides the flow of the brush. Even when it’s just an instrumental, the music helps me tap into emotions that might otherwise stay hidden.  

Art is my language of expression, and music is often the catalyst. Together, they create a space where emotions are not just felt but seen—a place where sound becomes colour and silence finds form. I hope that when you view my art, you not only see the colours and shapes but also sense the music behind them. Maybe you’ll even hear your own melody in the mix.  

Thank you for joining me on this journey, where each piece is more than just an image—it’s also a song waiting to be heard.

Welcome to my world—where colour speaks, texture breathes, and every brushstroke tells a story.

Art isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. My work is built on layers—of paint, of memory, of raw emotion. I embrace acrylics, oils, and mixed media, using bold colour and texture to translate what words cannot.

I find kinship in Van Gogh’s passion and Picasso’s audacity, but my art is my own—a fusion of feeling, experience, and a relentless pursuit of truth on canvas.

This blog is a glimpse into my world—my process, my inspirations, and the stories behind my work. Whether you're an artist, a collector, or simply moved by art, I hope you find a connection here. 

I hope my work speaks to you, stirs something within, and invites you to see the world through my eyes !
