Transformation: Paradise

Only available in France

Para, Para, Paradise.

The free flowing movement of the acrylics remind me of the waves by the beach on a summer vacation, the flowy sway of coconut tree leaves with the cool sea breeze, the ripples on the water surface painted by curious snorkellers. The rippling draws a parallel to the butterfly effect – how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state, and the criticality of doing good and well.

Le mouvement fluide des acryliques me rappelle les vagues au bord de la plage pendant les vacances d’été, le balancement fluide des feuilles de cocotier avec la brise marine fraîche, les ondulations à la surface de l’eau peintes par des plongeurs curieux. L’ondulation établit un parallèle avec l’effet papillon – comment un petit changement dans un état d’un système non linéaire déterministe peut entraîner de grandes différences dans un état ultérieur, et la criticité de bien et de bien.

About the ‘Transformation’ collection

Inspired by the journey of transformation and renewal, I first started working on this collection whilst on a sabbatical in Brittany, France. In the ‘Transformation’ collection, I play on creating water colour textures with acrylics, and allow the colours and textures on the canvas to speak for themselves. I start each piece in the collection not knowing how the final product will look, and the organic creation process is in itself a journey of transformation for the canvas and acrylics.

Each piece in the collection represents a different transformation story, and I hope it resonates with your own personal journey, and the story that you represent.
