Grace

This portrait captures a young girl immersed in lush, tranquil greenery. Edward drew inspiration from Yayoi Kusama and her iconic use of polka dots, translating that influence through the playful medium of alcohol inks. He allowed drops of ink to disperse naturally across the background, then extended the spontaneity with swirling lines and flowing drips. These organic effects not only echo the subject’s gentle gaze but also enhance her graceful expression. The fluid patterns invite viewers to reflect on the spontaneous moment and the balance between control and chance in the creative process.
