Grey Seeds White Flowers

Grey Seeds White Flowers is a series of five mixed media paintings on paper created through a process of transformation and renewal. Each work began as an older abstract painting — fragments of past ideas, gestures, and layers revisited with fresh intention. Instead of starting from an empty surface, I chose to paint over what already existed, allowing the history of each piece to remain visible beneath the new composition.

The series grew from a desire to introduce a new subject into these previously abstract spaces: the white flower. Emerging from backgrounds rich in grey tones and muted textures, the flowers became a visual contrast — quiet yet luminous, delicate yet strong. They appear almost as forms discovered within the paintings rather than placed upon them.

For me, the grey areas represent seeds of memory, process, and unfinished thoughts, while the white flowers suggest clarity, renewal, and resilience. The semi-abstract nature of the works allows the viewer to move between recognizable organic forms and expressive painterly surfaces, creating a balance between softness and intensity.

Layered with mixed media marks, textures, and intuitive gestures, this series reflects the beauty of reworking the past into something alive again.
