The Healing Power of Texture: Why My Most Mature Collection Is Also My Most Grounding
Over time, I’ve realised that texture is my true language. It holds the silences between words. It gives form to feelings I can’t articulate. And it invites not just the eye, but the body, the breath, the memory — to participate.
📐 Why Texture Matters (More Than We Think)
We live in a world of polished surfaces and overstimulation. Smooth glass, glowing screens, flat design. But our nervous systems crave more. They crave depth, irregularity, something tactile and grounding.
This is especially true in the spaces we call home.
Collectors often tell me they don’t just “look at” my paintings — they feel them. The textured layers, the interplay of blue and gold, the light catching on raised surfaces — these are elements that shift with time and mood. They create a living presence in a room. A kind of quiet anchor.
🎨 Dance of Water and Earth: A Maturity of Materials and Meaning
Dance of Water and Earth is the culmination of years spent refining this process. It’s my most mature body of work to date — emotionally grounded, technically layered, and deeply inspired by natural rhythms.
Water and earth are opposites and mirrors. Fluidity and form. Emotion and memory. The blues in this series speak of depth, immersion, and the pull of the sea. The raw textures echo cliffs, sand, silence, and roots. Gold breaks through as light — delicate but persistent.
This series wasn’t planned. It emerged. And that’s what maturity means to me now — letting the work reveal itself, instead of forcing it into being.
🌊 For Collectors, Designers, and Ocean Souls
If you’re drawn to interiors that feel serene, soulful, and sensorial, texture will do more for your space than any trend. It softens modern lines. It holds attention without shouting. It gives you something to return to — again and again.
Whether you're a private collector, an interior designer, or simply someone craving calm, I hope these works offer more than beauty. I hope they offer a kind of presence.
