When I painted Dual Fragments, I was thinking about the tension of living with more than one version of myself. The deep rust-colored fields feel like the body, a foundation I keep returning to, steady but heavy. Then there are the blue blocks—interruptions, almost like strangers that belong to me. They arrive suddenly, altering the space, shaping what the whole becomes, and never quite letting the orange rest in its own stillness.
The painting carries that feeling of imbalance I live with: one self reaching, the other resisting. The blue doesn’t blend—it asserts itself, forces a reckoning, and makes the body shift to accommodate it. I see these marks as both a disruption and a kind of honesty, the unavoidable truth that two currents can run inside the same vessel.

My name is NESTA—painter, writer, and artist born from the ache of absence. I came to the canvas not through ambition, but through mourning; when my grandmother passed, the world lost its shape, and so I began painting to find new ones. Grief taught me that silence has a weight, and color became my only language heavy enough to carry it. I never set out to be seen—only to survive the echo she left behind. But somewhere between the chaos of brushstrokes and the stillness of drying paint, I began to recognize myself, not just as someone who creates, but as someone becoming through the act of CREATING.
Art is never just decoration or technique — it is the language of the unseen.
