Matcha Stain

“Match Stain” is a vibrant exploration of presence, emotion, and imperfection — a painting that began not with a brushstroke, but with a chance moment: a matcha tea stain, quietly absorbed into the canvas like the first breath of memory. The palette — orange, blue, pink, beige, and earthy browns — evokes both warmth and tension, like a dialogue between past and present. Over this, thick white textures rise like sediment or fog, softening and concealing — until a single sharp black brushstroke cuts through the calm, almost violently, anchoring the painting like a pulse or final word. It’s a piece about the unexpected beginnings, the beauty of imperfection, and how even a gentle spill can birth a storm of feeling.
