Pareidolia young girl

This painting began without an image in mind. Through doodles, marks, and instinctive gestures, a figure slowly revealed itself — a moment of recognition born from chaos. This process, known as pareidolia, became an intimate dialogue between chance and intention: seeing something emerge where nothing was planned.

What I loved most was the act of looking — pausing, searching, allowing the marks to speak back to me. Rather than imposing a subject, I followed what was already there.

This work marks the beginning of a new exploration. Not a departure from my usual language, but an extension of it. The abstract and the figurative continue to coexist, as they always have in my work — only now, the figure finds me first.
