Flow
“Flow is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake.
The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one.”
— Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Go with the flow, Wired Magazine, 1996
These large abstract paintings begin in a moment of waiting and tension, just before action. Once the surface is carefully prepared, the gesture takes over — quick, instinctive, guided by color and movement.
The square format captures this energy, balancing control and freedom.
Painted alongside snowboard topsheets, these works share the same impulse: movement, joy, and complete presence in the moment.
Acrylic on canvas, each 150 × 150 cm; acrylic on snowboard topsheet.
