Yellow Balloon
$3,500.00
In this painting, I tend to capture a moment of mixed emotions. The girl is holding a yellow balloon, which usually represents happiness, but it’s deflated, showing that sometimes joy can be fragile. Her bright dress contrasts with her thoughtful expression, highlighting how we can feel both happiness and sadness at the same time. This painting is about the ups and downs of life and how we hold onto hope, even when things aren’t perfect.

Artist Statement
My work reflects emotions of curiosity, resilience, vulnerability, and strength. After losing hearing in one ear as a child, I became more reliant on visual cues—a perspective that shapes my art today.
The figures I paint, with their exaggerated eyes and single ear, represent how I experience the world. They invite deeper connection and remind us that perception is personal and varied. Through form, texture, and color, I capture often-overlooked moments, celebrating the beauty of seeing and feeling life in a different way.
