Cherry Sky, oil on canvas, 80 x 120 x 3 cm
Cherry Sky is all about cherry blossoms but taken to a whole other level. I wanted to capture not just their beauty but the energy of them, the way they burst into life every spring. This artwork is a mix of wild expressionism and delicate realism, drawing on the chaos of Jackson Pollock’s dripped and thrown paint but grounding it with fine, detailed oil work inspired by Van Gogh’s emotional intensity. The branches twist and stretch through the canvas, splattered with vibrant pinks, creamy whites, and fiery corals that cascade like nature’s fireworks. Between the drips and splashes, there’s this intricate detailing on the blossoms that pulls you in close, balancing the frenzy with softness. The background is alive with texture and movement, chaotic yet purposeful, echoing the energy of a windy spring day. Ready to hang, It’s a celebration of contrasts, wild yet grounded, fleeting yet eternal. It’s spring on the edge of bursting, frozen in time.
