When the Tide Speaks: Creating the First Thalassa Painting

There are rare moments in an artist’s life when inspiration arrives with absolute clarity. That happened with the first painting of my new series, Thalassa — a word that means "sea" in ancient Greek.

I began this piece with no expectations, no sketch, no fixed outcome in mind. It was an instinctive process. Each brushstroke felt like listening to something older than thought — as if the sea itself was whispering the way forward.

To my surprise, the piece was sold the very next day.

This quick sale wasn’t about luck. It was a reminder: when you create from a place of genuine flow, your work holds a frequency that others can feel. It resonates beyond technique — it communicates something honest.

Thalassa is a journey through emotion, memory, and water. A dialogue between calm surfaces and what churns below. Every painting in the series carries a tide — sometimes tranquil, sometimes stormy — but always moving.

For fellow artists reading this: trust those moments. The unplanned ones. The ones where the painting seems to paint itself. Not every piece will come this way, but when it does — don’t resist it. That’s where the magic is.

In this video, you’ll see how Thalassa I came to life — from blank canvas to completed painting. It's a time-lapse of intuition, emotion, and surrender to the process.
