We usually wear glasses if we can't see clearly. We always want to see everyone and everything clearly, but sometimes it feels a bit cruel to see clearly. When the light and shadow are blurred due to tears, it is another kind of beauty. This is very similar to choosing to see the world with myopic eyes sometimes, not to see clearly how dark the night is, but to feel the swaying lights and shadows highlighted by the darkness.

Spirited Glow,Oil on Canvas, 24″ x 32″
The blurred light and shadow of the city are evidence of the fleeting time. The flowing lines and highlights among the buildings make the New York City night full of vitality. Does the blurred and swaying chaotic vision subvert the night view we usually see?

If this painting was a photo taken by a camera, we are used to erasing it in the name of blurring, but I always feel that the extra overlapping halo is particularly charming.
Enthralling Vergito,Oil on Canvas, 60″ x 60″
Capturing and exploring the expression of visual tension, using lines according to the appearance of the environment to create the tension between light beams and the busy city. Alexandra Pacula believes that the psychedelic charm of urban nightlife intertwined with light and shadow is intoxicating.
