Acrylic and real sand from Cascais beach in Portugal, where I find many inspirations and ingredients for work. This painting is part of my recent series ‘Perfectly Unbalanced’ - a celebration of being resilient and fearless when life presents us with challenges. Using my non-dominant hand, I explored these moments of adaptation through bold and intuitive brushstrokes, new colours and new textures from sand and leaves. Not being in control allowed a very liberated and authentic expression of triumph over what seemed impossible to begin with.
