About This Mural

Being asked to paint a heart chakra mural felt anything but random. I've been drawn to images of hearts showing up in unexpected places, collecting them without realizing I was creating one myself. There’s clearly a message here. Something I’m being asked to feel, to notice.

When I paint, the noise of the world fades. My mind quiets, and I focus on the act of creating, mark by mark. It becomes a kind of refuge. Only when the brushes are set down do I fully absorb what I’ve made and what it’s stirred in me. Even a few hours of painting can leave me completely drained, my body heavy, my emotions raw. I pour all of myself into the work, and that kind of presence takes a toll.

This heart chakra mural has become more than a project. Anahata speaks to healing, openness, and emotional clarity, and in the process of bringing it to life, it’s been speaking to me. It’s a mutual exchange between artist and art, a shared need for stillness and meaning.
