“The Bond beyond Time”, oil on wood board, framed in thrifted frame

I haven’t been very active on social media lately, and there’s a good reason for that—I’ve been fully immersed in working on my new paintings. I’ve taken my time to create each piece with as much care and intention as possible, as the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer once said: “Als ik kan” (actually he’ve signed his paintings with those words 🙂 — which means “As good as I can” — this phrase perfectly captures my approach to my work.

The paintings were included at the exhibition, titled “Roots,” which will be held at Nanny Goat Gallery, a charming and inviting space known for showcasing captivating and thought-provoking art. Many incredible artists are participating, each interpreting the theme in their own way—some exploring nature, others reflecting on family and ancestry. For me, everything begins with the Inner Child.

The Inner Child is where creativity is born, where curiosity and imagination take root before the world tells us to be practical or restrained. It holds our first artistic impulses, our sense of wonder, and the emotions that shape us. I wanted to reach into that space, to explore what remains of childhood within us all.

I’m presenting three paintings in this exhibition: “Playday,” “The Bond Beyond Time,” and “Lioness.” Each of these pieces tells its own story of joy, of connection, of strength — yet they are all deeply tied to the idea that our past selves, our inner child continue to live within us, shaping who we are.
