"In my paintings, patterns take on a profound role as a language that narrates stories, emotions, and hidden narratives. Each stroke, each repetition, serves as a character in the tale I seek to convey. These patterns are not arbitrary; they are carefully crafted to evoke feelings, memories, and experiences. They become the words, the sentences, and the paragraphs of my visual storytelling. The way colors merge and lines intersect, the rhythm and flow they create, all work together to communicate a narrative that goes beyond the surface. It's in these patterns that I find the voice to express the complexities of life, the beauty of diversity, or the harmony of nature. So while the forms and visual elements in my work may have evolved and shifted over time, the core creative process remains the same." - Sofie Swann
