Why I Paint: A Journey Through Colour, Emotion, and Connection

There’s a question I get asked often, usually in galleries or through messages from collectors: “Why do you paint?” It’s simple to answer and impossibly complex at the same time. The truth is, I paint because I have to. Because there are feelings inside me that words can’t quite reach, emotions that need colour and texture and movement to exist in the world.

Hi There Everyone, 

I am a self confessed loveaholic but recently I have learned how really really good it can feel to take care of myself.

To stand in my own skin in my own power is so incredibly pleasurable, joyful and celebratory.

That in my opinion is one fab way to gain the freedom often craved by the human being.

My paintings tell tales of triumph over tragedy and freedom.

I honestly feel like I have been given the most incredible gift, a gift of self love and self respect.

Painting gets me there, it is a part of me, a part of my soul and heart.

My snowy grateful wish for you is that you find yourself your true self and freedom from possibly self inflicted chains. Take real loving care of yourself. 

xx

Blog 1^st October 2024

I am celebrating the coming of Autumn with a new painting. It is called Midnight. As per the norm with my painting it is acrylics on stretched canvas. It signifies a look at the countryside at the atmospheric time of the middle of the night. Everything is different in the dark, even the way things sound change at night. As a self-confessed night owl, I wake up at night and can’t wake up easily in the morning. I can stay in my studio at night when some of my best creations happen. Atmospheres of a place and the time of day really can change experiences.

As summer grows nearer I realise I love all colour it doesn’t matter if it is the greys of winter, or the bright yellows and reds of summer. It has actually been proven scientifically that bright colour has a specific effect on the brain, one being to release dopamine (the feel-good chemical) as well as other positive effects.

I am looking forward to summer and using the holiday time of my MA Fine Art at the OCA to create more wonderful art. I am creating art that I always dreamed of creating and I am really excited to share it with you.

See Artworks page here to invest in my beautiful artwork. For prints visit www.carolineboff.art

Colour really uplifts me and my mood and as such it is vital for my wellbeing. I wish to share that happiness with you too.

Also, watch this space for some online courses by me on how to create colourful artwork and brighten up your life.

Yours Brightly,
