Color is the heartbeat of my creative journey. I use alcohol inks because the intensity of the color and the organic flow of the ink, allows me to paint flowers in a joyful way. I use a black ink pen to trace the contours of the shapes that have blossomed from the inks. The inclusion of black ink serves as a dynamic contrast, highlighting and accentuating the inherent beauty of the colors that bloom within my paintings.
