A major influence on my work is Henri Matisse. His impact is not so much visual; it's inspired from his painting practice, a personal procedure he articulately explained in his "Notes of a Painter" written in 1908. He states:
"Then a moment comes when all the parts have found
their definite relationships, and from then on it would
be impossible for me to add a stroke to my picture
without having to repaint it entirely."
Here, he explains an intuitive way of painting which entails a personal integration of materials along with his responses to the resultant effects rather than pre-conceiving of composition and design. This is the spontaneous process I employ to create my works, one which integrates painting and physical structure into one aesthetic expression.

Really enjoyed reading this post! A well-chosen canvas painting can instantly add depth, colour, and personality to a room. I love how artwork brings emotion and style together so effortlessly. I recently explored Vibecrafts’ collection, and their canvas paintings are beautifully crafted, making them a perfect choice for adding an artistic touch to modern home décor.
