About the artwork

Thought in Bloom is the quiet moment when a feeling takes shape - not in words, but in colour. In this work, thought itself seems to bud: what was once invisible reveals itself as a flower hesitantly opening its chalice towards the light.

The soft transition between blue and orange tells of the tension between inner and outer worlds. The blue is introspection - cool, clear, thoughtful. It carries the silence of contemplation, the depth of a thought that has not yet found voice. In contrast, orange radiates like an emotion that no longer wants to be hidden. It is warmth, life, the spark of something new that dares to show itself.

The figure in the work balances between these two spheres: her gaze is fixed on something that cannot be seen, an inner landscape that expresses itself in flower and colour. The flowers around her do not seem to be scenery, but extensions of her thoughts - each leaf a shred of memory, each petal a piece of feeling that finally dares to breathe.

The brushstrokes are soft but deliberate; they do not follow fixed lines, but move like a stream of consciousness. This creates a rhythm, a breathing of paint and feeling. Thought in Bloom captures that rare moment when inner silence is not empty, but full - full of potential, full of life waiting to show itself.

It is an ode to the growth of the invisible. To how a thought, however small, can blossom into something that fills light and space - not with sound, but with presence. Modern Abstract. Colourful. Tangerine.
