"I need to get away" - Acrylic on canvas. July 2026

I've had such a hard time finding inspiration in single subject pieces, you know, still life's or character work. Something I have found inspiring though is past memories. I started with my nostalgia series in pen and ink a while back but felt it was too immature for a professional setting, and my goal is to get to the gallery level. So I took that concept of memories and put it in paint instead.

So what's the story ?

Back in 2017/2018 I frequented a lot of parties with a close friend and while being devious was a lot of fun, I don't remember much of the party itself, I don't remember any of the people there and I didn't even do any of the drugs they were doing. What I do remember though, was one particular party where everyone wanted to do shr0*ms and watch the lights on the ceiling from the disco ball they had set up and being sober watching them is painfully awkward and embarrassing. So I made my escape into the bathroom after stealing a box of powdered donuts from the hosts kitchen and vibed for a while before my friend came in and she could not stop giggling at the fact I was just by myself eating donuts in there. We sat there for a while joking and laughing, and that memory stuck. That was my favorite party I had ever been to and I barely even partied.

It's not always the major significant moments that need capturing sometimes it really is just those little one off ones that shape you the most.
