"In uncertain times, one tends to look for the light, both literal and symbolic. This series of oil paintings reflects that search. Drawn from moments at home and places traveled, each piece captures the quiet clarity of light at various times of day: its ability to transform the ordinary, to soften, to reveal, and to comfort.
These 13 works explore light not just as a visual element of vivid illumination, but as a space for reflection and stillness. Whether drawn from memory or observation scenes such as a sunlit river, a night garden, or the ambient city glow at dusk are infused with a sense of presence and reverence.
Selected quotes by artists including David Hockney, Paul Cézanne, and Aaron Rose appear throughout the exhibition, expanding on the themes within the work. Their words offer a lens through which to consider the role of light, perception, and beauty. This reminds us that even in darkness, there is something to be seen."
