Viva Sorrow

Viva Sorrow (2025)

"Daily life with ADHD and autism is like driving with the engine constantly in the red zone. I paint to downshift. This canvas is where I bleed off the excess."

The Emotional Anchor: Viva Sorrow is a raw, 150 cm wide confession of a "chaos-driven" mind. It captures the heavy and depressive mood I often seek in music like Fever Ray or the Vikings soundtrack to maintain a creative flow. While the titles in my Blinkered series act as keys, this one is an emotional inversion—a celebration of the sorrow that, paradoxically, brings the most fertile creative relief.

The Vision: Born from a specific moment of "getting lost on purpose," this work is a synthesis of a distant landscape distilled into its atmospheric essence. By stretching a single vertical memory into these deep, horizontal bands of green and earth, I’ve created a "window" designed to change how you perceive the horizon.

The Texture of Silence: To counter the noise in my head, I apply dozens of layers of acrylic paint using DIY sponges and rags. This creates a flickering, "kaleidoscopic" surface of micro-details that often go unnoticed but are essential to the meditative calm this piece brings to a modern interior.
