This painting was created as a part of “Outside the lines” collection. The collection is inspired by creating freely, living without boundaries and doing what feels right, even when it's not normal or traditional. The name is inspired by the phrase "Colouring outside the lines" which means: To behave in creative or unconventional ways, to break the rules.

With this collection I was exploring creating art freely without any expectations, rules or boundaries. It takes a lifetime to learn how to create freely like a child again.

Outside the lines meaning:

NOT STICKING TO THE RULES

ACT OR BEHAVE IN A NON-TRADITIONAL WAY

THINK CREATIVELY OR OUT OF NORMAL BOUNDARIES

NOT CONFORMING TO STEREOTYPICAL THOUGHT PROCESSES
