In my painting, I want to craft something beautiful that gives the viewer visual comfort and pleasure.

 

Color is a vital element of my work. Color is a form of energy that can touch people’s emotions. A color itself or a combination of colors has a powerful effect on people’s feelings and behavior. I like to make people comfortable and happy. Using color is a moderate but powerful way of affecting people.

 

I started working on lemon painting in 2020 during the pandemic when my daughter headed to college. Thinking of an object that I could paint to decorate her dorm room, I thought of a lemon because it is said to bring good luck, in terms of feng shui, and I believe that it has the power of purification. The subject matter sounded perfect during that moment. Since then, I became hooked on the theme with different compositions and background colors. The combination of naturally elaborated lemons and distinctive background colors will take the viewer to a pleasant journey.
