The inspiration behind "Crowd" comes from my daily drawings and the city life. It reflects the multifaceted nature of existence, where countless memories and interactions build up over time.
The abstract shapes and layered composition convey the idea that life is a rich interplay of moments, experiences, and emotions.
The color palette is a delicate combination of soft pastels, warm white, pink, purple, and yellow, with abstract shapes and pencil drawings.
The significant white area in the artwork allows for a sense of openness, offering viewers a space to immerse themselves in the artwork's complexity.
The use of multiple layers, the act of painting, sanding, painting again, mark making, and drawing are all techniques employed to create a textured and multi-dimensional piece. This layered process reflects the layers of memories and experiences that compose the narrative of our lives.
"Crowd" is an invitation for viewers to contemplate the intricate nature of life, to appreciate the quiet beauty within the chaos, and to reflect on the layers of memories and experiences that define our individual narratives.
