“In this painting, I used a gentle palette of blues, greens, and soft blacks to bring the feather to life, blending these hues with delicate brushstrokes that mimic the softness of nature. The edges transition smoothly into the white background, creating a sense of openness and possibility, while the splatters and subtle drips add a spontaneous spirit to the piece. Through this work, I hoped to convey a sense of rising strength and open awareness, capturing the quiet power within seemingly fragile details.”
