Snow in the Caucasus — Georgia, Armenia, cold that settles into your bones. Mountain roads disappearing into white. Then Turkey again, before the flight turned south and everything changed: Bangkok, humid and golden, the heat arriving like a wall the moment the doors opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive countries. Two continents. Winter and tropics, back to back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then, home. Which was never really the destination — just the place the ticket ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was made in the days after returning. No subject. No sketch. Just the palette knife and a sponge moving through colour — multiple shades of blue and purple, greens, fluorescent pink, sharp yellow — colours bleeding and blending into each other, one shade pulling the next across the canvas. One half of the surface catches the light with a gloss finish; the other pulls it in with a matte. The same painting reads differently depending on where you stand. Some surfaces catch the light; others pull it in. The result is the kind of painting that could only come from someone who had just seen too much of the world to settle on a single shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA painting that doesn't depict any one place but somehow holds all of them.
