"Emotion of a seed" is from the Compression series and portrays the stage of a seed beginning to have the urge to sprout, it portrays emotion and the natural chemistry of growth in relationship to one another. The first layer of this first painting was inspired by Gerard Richter as well as zen calligraphy masters, large, wide strokes accompanied by breath, like a tai-chi movement.This is the background for growth, represented as breath, stillness and the receptivity and open creativity for maximum, unimaginable growth, which we see for example from a minute seed to a great tree.This painting is about combustion and potential of beauty.
