SHINAH LEE

Couleur de Nuit II
Oil on canvas 48 x 24
$2350

Shinah’s artistic process is a dance between instinct and intention. She begins with the canvas on the floor, allowing pigments to mingle and merge. As she rotates her canvas, images and emotions emerge, transformed into vibrant compositions that resonate with the viewer’s own experiences of love, loss and renewal.

Inspired by Pavel’s relationship with his own mother, ‘Ready for Life Adventure’ captures that universal moment when a parent, though reluctant to let go, offers the support and confidence needed to spread one’s wings.
