The Art of Illusion

Painting is really just an illusion — colours and marks pretending to be light, space, and life. But in that illusion, something real happens.

When I paint sunlight, I’m not trying to copy what I see. I’m trying to hold on to how it feels — the warmth on skin, the calm that fills a room, the quiet joy of seeing something glow.

Maybe that’s what painting is — a way of making the invisible moments visible, even if they only live in paint.
