Phase From Blue

One of the quiet wonders of creating a portrait from imagination is that sometimes, the universe sends that very face back to you in real life. That’s exactly what happened with this painting - the first time I ever met someone who looked almost identical to a figure I had imagined and painted!

Since then, it’s happened a few more times, and each encounter feels like a gentle reminder that creativity has its own mysterious way of weaving connections between the imagined and the real.
