The same inspiration - a rainbow. A completely different conversation.

After working with oil pastels, I wanted to explore the rainbow again using Sennelier inks.

Where the pastels feel solid and tactile, the inks flow, merge, and catch the light in unexpected ways. Some colors reveal a subtle sheen that appears and disappears depending on the angle.

Same palette. New personality.

A closer look.

One of my favorite parts of this piece wasn't planned at all.

The masking tape lifted some of the paper when it was removed, leaving rough edges and unexpected texture. Instead of seeing it as a mistake, I find that I quite like the effect. The torn paper adds to the texture of the piece.

Sometimes the materials make their own decisions.

A focus on color begins.

This small collection started with a simple idea: taking the colors of the rainbow and letting them move freely across the page.

Created with oil pastels, these swirling marks carry all the texture and energy of the medium:
- the drag of pigment
- the visible strokes
- the layers that refuse to disappear completely.

Color has a way of creating its own atmosphere.
