There's a certain quiet joy in seeing a painting travel from your desk to someone else's wall, especially when that someone is family.
Nishikigoi Flow was a commissioned piece I painted earlier this year, inspired by the fluid, ever-shifting movement of koi in a pond. After working on tighter architectural studies, I wanted this one to breathe differently, looser brushwork, bold reds and oranges moving against deep transparent blues, letting the fish glide freely across the paper the way they do in real ponds.
This piece now lives framed with my Ninang, and honestly, that makes it feel complete in a way that a painting still sitting in my studio never quite does. Grateful for the trust, and for family who believes in this creative path I'm building.
