"No. 500"

Colour, tea, and slow lofi nights.
While my canvases stayed locked in black-and-white for Monochrome 23, I gave myself quiet permission to explore colour on small paperback sheets. Unhurried sessions—lofi house in the background, mug of tea by the palette—grew into Alternative 23: a set of intimate works where oil glazes, soft water-colours, deliberate marker lines, and a single spray-paint haze drift across rough book pages.

Most pieces unfold layer by layer, every tone placed with intention rather than speed. Oil adds depth, water-colour breathes, markers trace calm rhythms; together they turn each page into a slow meditation on hue. Small scale, measured tempo, full-spectrum relief—proof that even during a year of restraint, colour can bloom when given time and quiet space.
