Latency was born from a deeply uncertain moment in my life and in my career. I painted it with my left hand after fracturing the wrist of my dominant hand. That accident, which at first seemed purely physical, opened a much larger and more painful question: not knowing whether I would be able to continue painting.

During that time, my body forced me to stop, but my need to create was still there, quietly beating. The waiting became a strange territory filled with fear, frustration, vulnerability, but also with an inner strength that refused to fade. So I decided to challenge myself, to take the brush with the hand I was not accustomed to using, and to allow that initial awkwardness to speak as well.

This work is, therefore, a form of self-portrait from an inner condition. Each color contains a different emotion from that moment: uncertainty, resistance, fragility, hope, the impulse to continue. The forms seem to float, to search for balance, to support one another, as if they were waiting for something that has not yet revealed itself.

That is why I titled it Latency, because it speaks of what is present even though it has not yet fully manifested. It speaks of a painting that was waiting inside me when my dominant hand could not respond.
