In college, he discovered watercolor—a medium notorious for its difficulty. Unlike oils or acrylics, watercolors demand precision, patience, and an acceptance of imperfection. Once a mistake is made, there’s no undoing it. But rather than shy away, Edward embraced the challenge. Watercolors became his lifelong pursuit, pushing him to refine his technique, to master control while still allowing the unpredictable flow of water and pigment to shape his work.
For Edward, painting isn’t just a practice; it’s a state of being. On his best days, he loses himself in creation, slipping into a rhythm where the colors blend effortlessly, and the brush moves as if guided by an unseen force. “Sometimes, I finish a piece and don’t even remember how I got there. It’s like I was watching someone else paint, even though it was me.”
A perfect day for Edward is one where time doesn’t exist—where he can paint, step away, return, experiment, and let the creative process unfold naturally. He paints because he loves the act of creation itself. Even when a piece doesn’t turn out the way he envisioned, the joy is in the doing.
Edward’s collectors are those who see beyond the paint. They recognize the soul in his figures, the emotion in his landscapes, the unspoken stories within his brushstrokes. They are drawn to cultural and historical narratives, to the preservation of memory, to art that connects them to something real. They are people who cherish simple living, who appreciate craftsmanship, who find beauty in the unnoticed.
