WE LEAVE PIECES OF OURSELVES EVERYWHERE.

Narratives was built slowly over six months, layer by layer, using leftover paint from students who came through my studio. Every colour carries a trace of someone - a conversation, a silence, an experiment, a moment that would otherwise have disappeared.

There was no predetermined image. The painting simply collected what remained. Colours accumulated into an emotional archive until fragments began to find their own rhythm and form. At its centre, a nose appears - breathing among lines that move like thoughts, nerves or memories.

Not one story, but many. Not a portrait, but a record of presence.
