Scattered all around the coast, small islands lay like shimmering jewels, and it was simply stunning how such a barren, rugged landscape could radiate such quiet, sublime beauty.

Thus, this painting became a silent homage to Frida Kahlo for me – a woman who impressed not only with her art , but also with her personality, her story, and her uncompromising attitude. Her works are not simply paintings; they are expressions of inner struggles, passion, and an unbridled zest for life. This painting is a small nod to her greatness – more colorful than usual, more intense than usual, and perhaps precisely for that reason, so special to me.

I'm delighted that my image "Pink" has been nominated for the Fine Art Photography Award . The work depicts a tulip with delicate structures and a quiet presence—a play of color, form, and light.
