Acrylic on wood panel. “Flicker” was inspired by the fleeting moments in nature where light and shadow play together, creating a sense of transient beauty. The painting captures the essence of those brief, almost imperceptible shifts in the environment—like the way sunlight filters through leaves, casting dappled patterns, or how a distant glow appears and disappears in the mist. The inspiration comes from the desire to encapsulate these moments of subtle transformation, where what is seen is just as important as what is felt. In creating “Flicker,” the aim was to evoke the sensation of something that is here one moment and gone the next—a whisper of light, a shimmer on the edge of perception. The painting reflects a fascination with how these fleeting instances can leave a lasting impression, much like a memory of a moment that lingers long after the light has faded.
