"My Journey" is a vibrant abstract landscape painting rich with a variety of colors and textures. Dominated by vertical forms the presence of trees or natural elements, the composition features strokes and dabs of red, blue, green, and yellow, with hints of white and black that add depth. These colors and forms are interwoven in a way that creates a dynamic sense of a forest or densely packed space. The painting exudes vigor and a lively sense of movement, and the application of paint is thick and tactile, implying  an energetic and  impasto technique to layer and build the image. The artwork is framed in a simple gallery floating  light wood frame that complements its rich colors.
