Acrylic on Canvas | 90 x 90cm

“Inspired by a fleeting connection, this work reflects the quiet arc of a life, the years already lived, the pressures that shape us and the moments where authenticity flickers in and out of reach. It also marks a turning point in one's journey: a decision to transform experience rather than resist it, to fold emotion into creation and to allow every encounter — even the imperfect ones — to become part of the art.”

Emerald and deep green sweep through the canvas like the slow passage of time. Layered, complex, shaped by currents seen and unseen. A shadow of black carved through the work, hinting at the weight of expectations, strength, the mystery of selfhood and the parts of us shaped by pressures of the past.

A rare flicker of yellow appears only in passing, like those fleeting years when we live in complete honesty within ourselves. Its scarcity speaks of authenticity found in moments rather than eras, bright, sincere, precious.

Purple glimmers quietly brush through, a suggestion of dignity, inner worth and the parts of us that remain unshaken, even when life asks us to be someone else.

White cuts cleanly through the upper plane, a quiet promise, a direction forward, a clarity that waits for us when we finally return to who we are.

Suspended between darkness and light, depth and stillness, Cenin Fatet contemplates the long arc of a life: the versions we become, the versions we lose and the truths that rise only when we lean into them and stop trying to earn a worth that's always been there.
