New Small Collection – Intimate Abstract Works in Progress

In the quiet of my studio, these small works began to emerge — fragments of emotion, texture, and gesture. They are still drying, still becoming, but already speak in their own language.”

This new collection features five small abstract paintings, each created with mixed media on board. Though modest in size, they carry the same emotional weight and layered complexity as my larger works. Earthy tones, expressive textures, and intimate compositions define this series.”

New Small Paintings – Abstract Floral Motifs in Oil

In these new small-format works, I explore the delicate tension between form and feeling. Inspired by floral motifs, each painting is a quiet celebration of color, texture, and emotional resonance

“Created in oil on MDF board (15×20 cm), these pieces feature abstract interpretations of flowers — vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows layered over textured backgrounds. Though small in size, they carry a bold emotional presence and are ideal for intimate spaces or collectors seeking unique, expressive works.”

Flowers have always symbolized transformation and fragility. In this series, I let the brush lead — allowing emotion to shape the petals, the rhythm, the silence between strokes.
