I paint because I experience the world with unusual intensity — my emotions and sensitivities closer to the surface than most people's. Painting gives that feeling a visual language, translating what moves me deeply into images that move others in turn. My subjects begin in the garden, where I nurture roses, peonies, and tulips with the same care I bring to a canvas. In painting them, I engage fully with beauty, exploring the play of light and shadow that mirrors the human experience. Realism and sensuality are my guides; connection is my purpose.
Hi my name is Ciel, pronounced C.L. Have a look around and let me know if you have any questions.
