"Figurative art is a record of both individual and cultural importance, documenting our species in all its glory. From our daily lives to our core emotions and values, figurative art is a way of expressing, in a universal language, the triumphs and failures of our shared human existence."

The Picnic (Hollyann)
The inspiration for The Picnic (Hollyann) initially stemmed from the story of Leda and the Swan, but as the artwork progressed and I immersed myself in music from my youth, it gradually evolved into something more deeply personal. Songs such as Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison and Hollyann by Boston shaped my subjective perception and interaction with the painting. Eventually it transformed into a representation of the past, encapsulating memories of individuals and shared experiences.
