Ethereal Equilibrium
Selected for the 2025 London Art Biennale, Cyprus and Ireland. Oil on canvas, 2024. 80x80x4cm.
Ethereal Equilibrium is a piece I created from a place I can’t fully explain—like it just flowed through me. I’ve always felt things deeper than I could say, and painting helps me translate that weight into something lighter, something real. The blues in this work are like emotions I’ve carried for years—some peaceful, some heavy—and the orbs and shapes came from a dream I had about balance and chaos coexisting. It’s not about perfection, but about letting things be what they are. This painting is me trying to find stillness in all the noise, a moment where I could just breathe and let my soul speak without words.
