Usually I use social media as kind of diary, posting things after they are being made. But this picture is good and actual for me now: 2023, 37x47cm, acrylic on paper.

Dialog in green. 2025, 30x40 cm, watercolor.
Painting with fewer colors, less shapes - it´s like trying to speak out only most important words. Sometimes I do say and paint too much at once and lose thread in overload.
