The story behind Flash for empathy

In 2019, something unexpected happened. What began as a daily ritual of painting, layering and experimenting slowly gave birth to something meaningful - my very first Flash for empathy.

It wasn´t planned. There was no concept or outline. Just a canvas, some paint and the desire to express. One day, out of this intuitive process, a distinct image ermerged: an abstract head with three bold horizontal bars. The composition was striking - raw, focused and almost meditative. I didn´t know it then, but it would become the visual core of Flash for empathy.

At first, the work existed only in a single format - 100 x 100 cm. That square became my space for reflection and transformation. As I continued to paint and evolve, so did the meaning behind the head and the bars. It mirrored my own inner journey: the search for clarity, depth and emotional presence.

Over time, the concept grew beyond a single canvas. I expanded the piece into a larger format - four 100 x 100 cm canvases placed together as one unified work. It was no longer just an image; it became a statement. A quiet, powerful reminder that empathy starts within.

The signature head with three bars remains at the heart of the series. But the true clou lies in the details: each of the four canvases is individually framed in steel. This choice wasn´t just aesthetic - it was intentional. The steel adds weight and substance, giving the work a sense of permanence, structure and sustainability.

Flash for empathy is not just a name. It´s a call - a moment of stillness in motion. A visual reflection of strength through softness. And it all started with one intuitive painting, a canvas of possibility and the courage to let go of control.
