When creating becomes an act of listening, grounding, and transformation.

Carrying life, for the third time.
It moves through me completely.
It slows me down…
and in that slowing down, something essential becomes clearer.

I no longer create at the same speed.
I paint differently.
I approach painting the way one inhabits a body in transformation:
with softness, patience, and long, deep breaths.

Motherhood and creation: a new sense of time

Pregnancy reinvents time.
The gesture pauses, resumes, shifts.
Thought becomes porous.
And painting becomes a kind of refuge —
a space to feel, not just to make.

I no longer try to control.
I let things come.
I work with accidents, silences, interruptions.
I paint the way I move: slowly at times, freely at others — always attuned.

An idea born in the quiet of summer

This summer, nourished by introspection and quiet, an idea emerged like a certainty:

To create custom abstract artworks inspired by you.
By your story.
By your emotions.
By what lives in you, even when left unspoken.

A painting as a mirror.
A visual continuation of your emotional landscape.

A one-of-a-kind artwork, born from connection

This is not a service —
it’s a meeting of worlds.

We’ll take time to speak, gently and freely.
I will listen, let your words resonate,
and from that resonance, I will create a contemporary, abstract, deeply personal painting.
A gesture towards you.
A piece that holds what words can’t always express.

Creating at the rhythm of life itself

As I prepare to welcome a new life into the world,
this project is limited to 6 custom commissions,
available to order until mid-October 2025.

This lets me respect the rhythm I’m currently living —
a rhythm made of interrupted gestures,
of fertile slowness,
of full, meaningful silences.

💌 Want to explore the idea together?

If this offering speaks to you —
if the thought of a painting made from what you’re feeling resonates…

Creating from life, within life

This is not a pause —
it is a continuation of how I choose to be in the world,
and of what I deeply believe:

Art is connection.
A space of presence, of slowness, of attention.

And maybe, just maybe —
painting at the pace of motherhood
is simply learning to create
at the pace of life.
