Yellow City was my first oil painting — and it arrived like a blaze. Six feet of luminous yellow filled with vertical forms that rise like both buildings and trees. Black, red, and blue marks break through the surface like lights in a city at night, or branches in a forest at dawn.
Nature is literally part of the work: I added sticks gathered from a dog walk in the woods, embedding them into the surface so that the city and the forest live together in one world.
For me, Yellow City is a place of imagination — a magical landscape where nature and man-made structures stand side by side. It was the first time oil paint became my language, and the first time I truly felt how passion could turn into art.
