Art for creative minds!
Art, in the truest sense, is more than simple placement of form, color, and shape. Art is a soul language, an expression of feeling, thought, and experience that transcends space and time. Art has been that which has acted as the catalyst in the history of man, that vehicle to defy conventions, and that gasoline that ignites the fire of creativity. It makes us look at things we never thought of before, makes us think outside the box, and evokes a sense of awe deep within us. Painting is not what we view—it's what it makes us think.

Blue!
The color blue has always held a strange power over me. It’s not just a color—it’s an experience, a feeling, a presence that stretches across time and space, deeply embedded in the human psyche. I’ve come to realize that blue isn’t merely about the visual—it’s about what it represents, how it speaks to us. From books to paintings, blue is omnipresent, a thread that intertwines stories and images, ideas and emotions, through the centuries. Let me take you on its journey, as I have experienced it, learned it, and heard it speaking to me in art.
