Art of Shuri

Hi!
I'm Shuri

A self-taught artist who found painting through emotion rather than instruction. I never planned to become an artist. It just happened. Slowly, in the moments when words no longer felt enough.
 
I started painting as a way to understand myself — to release what I couldn’t explain, to make sense of feelings that lived somewhere between peace and chaos. Over time, I realized that art wasn’t just a form of expression for me — it was a way of existing, of connecting, of breathing.
 
I chose abstract painting because it gives me freedom. There are no rules, no right or wrong — only emotion, intuition, and movement.
Every brushstroke is a reflection of a thought I couldn’t put into words. I love how abstraction lets people see their own stories in my work — how one painting can mean something completely different to each person who stands in front of it.
 
My art is deeply personal. It often comes from moments of reflection, transformation, and the in-between spaces of life — where things are messy but real, uncertain but beautiful. Through my paintings, I hope to remind people that emotion is not something to hide from, but something to feel, to explore, and to honor.
 
Art of Shuri is my way of sharing that journey — a visual diary of everything I’ve felt, lost, and found along the way.

"Between texture and light,

I paint the spaces where emotions learn to breathe."

I’ve always been drawn to the language of abstraction — that space where emotion takes form without needing to explain itself. Abstract painting, for me, is freedom. It allows what words cannot hold — the quiet chaos of feeling, the rhythm of thought, the pulse of something deeply human. When I paint, I don’t try to capture what I see — I try to translate what I feel. Each brushstroke, each layer, becomes a dialogue between the visible and the unseen.

I love experimenting with mixed media because it gives texture to emotion. Clay, fabric, sand, paper — they each carry their own stories, their own imperfections. Combining them with paint feels like stitching together fragments of memory and energy. It’s messy, tactile, alive — and that’s where the truth of my work lives.

Every piece I create is an exploration — not of perfection, but of presence. Through abstraction and mixed media, I find endless possibilities to express the intangible — the things that live between thought and feeling, between reality and imagination. It’s where I feel most honest, most alive, and most at home.
