From the island, Mallorca

Mallorca surprised me with its raw beauty. The turquoise waters, the rugged coastline, the quiet villages perched on hillsides.

Island Explorations

Beyond the tourist beaches lies a Mallorca of stone villages, ancient olive groves, and dramatic cliffs falling into impossibly blue water. This is the island that captured my imagination and filled my sketchbooks.

I spent two weeks wandering coastal paths, sitting in village squares, and painting the play of light on water. The island’s beauty is both dramatic and subtle - grand vistas and tiny wildflowers, all under that particular Mediterranean light.

Creative Inspiration

The island has a way of slowing time. Days blur into a rhythm of walking, painting, swimming, repeating. No agenda, just response to place and light and color.

These island studies will inform my work for months to come. Already I can see their influence - bolder colors, more confident marks, a looser, more expressive approach to landscape.
