ABOUT
Part of my Let It Be series, this original acrylic and oil abstract painting on canvas embodies the essence of surrender and the fluidity of existence, inspired by The Beatles’ iconic song. Through a dynamic interplay of black and cream—tones that resist the stark simplicity of black and white—I explored the ambiguous, liminal spaces of life where certainty dissolves into complexity. Rooted in my practice of flow art, I allowed the paint to move organically, using its gestures as a metaphor for relinquishing control, embracing uncertainty, and letting life’s irregularities unfold without resistance. In its fluid motion and layered depth, this painting reflects my process of challenging conventional notions of order and learning to accept the unexpected, finding meaning within life’s undefined edges.
