Courage

Courage exists in the unseen force that moves through darknessƒ??an unwavering presence that pushes forward despite uncertainty. In this painting, black is not an absence but a depth, a space where strength gathers before it rises. The vivid bursts of acid green, orange, and pale yellow cut through the dark, like sparks of resilience igniting against the unknown.

Artist Statement: Courage is never stillƒ??it moves, shifts, and takes shape in the unknown. As I painted, I watched the black dissolve into deep blue, carried by a force that feels both vast and unseen. The fiery orange surges forward, met by bursts of acid green and pale yellowƒ??like sparks of resilience igniting against the unknown.

There is a quiet strength in the depths, a steadying presence, and then there is the surgeƒ??the bold energy that propels forward. The bright yellow emerging from the intensity of orange feels like a quiet triumph, a breath after the storm.

Even in the vastness of shadow, I sense light waiting to riseƒ??shaped not by certainty, but by the willingness to meet what comes next.
