What if I’m lost in daydreams?

The title almost sounds like a doubt.
Like a quiet reproach to ourselves.

And yet, this painting is a declaration of love for precisely this state.

It was created during another beach walk.
A different day. A different light.
Feathers again.
And this time, shells too.

There are these moments by the sea when we lose ourselves, not from disorientation, but because we let go.

We bend down for a shell. Discover a feather in the foam of the waves. Observe how the white of the water settles over the sand, how it washes around, releases, then swallows again.

And as we watch, we begin to drift.

Thoughts dissolve.
Time loses its strictness.
Daydreams rise like whitecaps.

When I was working on the idea for What if I’m Lost in Daydreams, I had to think of “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli: the motif of the one born from sea foam, standing in a shell.
Here, too, it is the foam that brings something forth.

Only in my painting, they are not mythological figures, but inner spaces. They remind us that dreams and ideas are born in something as fleeting as the foam on the waves, on a beautiful day at the sea.

The dancing feathers on the water.
The shells uncovered by the sea.
The rhythmic movement of waves hitting the land, or rather, the sand.

What if I’m Lost in Daydreams is the only horizontal artwork from the Little Wonders series.
It carries vastness within it.
The sequence of movement.
The flow.

The colors are vibrant, oscillating, almost pulsating, and enhanced with sand mixed into oil paints.
Like thoughts that come and go.
Like memories that overlap.

What if I’m Lost in Daydream is not a warning.
It is an invitation.

Allow yourself to get lost.
Allow yourself to dream.

Because there is power in daydreams.
There we remember longings.
There new possibilities arise.
There we gather energy – quietly, unnoticed, but deeply effective.

The little wonders – feathers, shells, foam –
open spaces between reality and the inner self.

And perhaps it is precisely there
that our greatest clarity is hidden.

Art is more than a decorative picture on the wall.

Art is a luxury you’re allowed to treat yourself to, because it makes something resonate within you.
Art is individual—and the opposite of mass-produced goods and fast-moving fashion.
A work of art stays with you (and sometimes for generations) and becomes part of your life and all the stories within it.

My paintings are resources in which you can recognize yourself.
They are my personal engagement with the challenges and beauty of life.

I invite you to find your own resource in the depths of the layers and the richness of the colors—for strength, focus, or calm in your own life. And to give your home a truly personal touch with my art, and tell your own story through it.
