"beyond" is not a statement, it is a conversation. Between me, my past and what is possible when you have the courage to look beyond the visible. This artwork is my way of saying ‘thank you’. To Josef Albers. To color. To the infinite power of transformation. As a child, my life was like a track that never got mixed properly-epilepsy brought noise, endless hospital visits were something that never stopped. But then I discovered color and color therapy. And with it: balance. Clarity. A way out of the chaos and into something I could control. Albers showed me that color is not just visual. Color is alive. It speaks to you. It tells you that blue can be peace one moment and the deepest longing the next.
“beyond” is my version of this dialog. Dark blue and bright orange. It is not a coincidence. It is tension. Harmony. A reminder that growth is not linear, but comes about through friction. The clear lines in the work? They are the cuts that life makes. But they are also a direction. A plan. A path.
This is not just a work of art. It's a blueprint. For resilience. For the idea that you can not only survive, but grow. Albers has created tools that teach us this and show us how to see the world - This artwork is my contribution to this school of seeing.
Art is not a break from reality, it is an upgrade. For me, color has always been a space where I could step out of the chaotic reality of life to make my own peace. “Beyond” is my peace. It's a call-to-action: to see beyond the obvious. Beyond the fear. Beyond the noise. Beyond the limits.
