Transforming Leftover Paint into Creative Color Studies

The genesis of the creative process
At the end of the day, when I finish working on my main paintings, I find my palette full of leftover paint. Instead of throwing away these scraps, I decided to use them in a creative way. Thus were born these small studios, which began as a solution to not waste paint, but evolved to become something much more significant.
Inspiration in the Everyday
The inspiration for these color studies comes from a rather unexpected place: inflatable pools. The idea may sound strange at first, but the vibrant textures and colors of inflatable pools offer me a rich source of inspiration. With the leftover colors, I experiment by creating combinations and textures that reflect those inflatable elements, thus achieving unique and fascinating color tests.
