Space and time

Acrylic painting on canvas

Size: 65 x 90 cm

Created: 2013-2023 (over a decade)

This painting is truly priceless—it took over a decade to complete and carries the story of my artistic journey through time.

I began this work while living and working in London, originally intending to paint the cosmos. Yet something felt incomplete, and the painting remained unfinished for years. A decade later, after becoming a father, the missing piece revealed itself. When my son was just three years old, I introduced him to painting. His joyful creative energy left vibrant remnants of color on my palette, and I found myself using these leftover paints to add new layers—playful, colorful strokes that breathed life into the work.

The painting evolved from "space" into "space and time"—a meditation on how time travels through our lives, transforming intentions into something complete and whole.

If you take time to immerse yourself in this painting, you'll discover countless hidden details that spark the imagination: a banana here, a dolphin there, a skull, and endless other forms waiting to be found. This piece never disappoints—it reveals something new with each viewing. It can be hung vertically, horizontally, or even upside down, opening infinite ways to experience it anew.

This is not just a painting. It is a time capsule of fatherhood, creativity, and the beautiful accidents that make art truly alive.
