Playing with matches

A$7,200.00

2024
Mixed media on canvas
120cm x 180cm

A sudden jolt of inspiration amidst the relentless rain sparked my obsession with matches in this painting. Perhaps it was the need for warmth in a cold studio, but the match-shape began to recur within the artwork.

Seeing the motif emerge was exciting, so I intentionally depicted the life and stages of a match, focusing on its colors and shape.

With a sense of fulfillment, I knew "Playing with Matches" was the perfect name. I hope it ignites the imaginations of all who see it, just like the small flame that ignited in me.
