1000 Watercolour Poems

A thousand sorrows, an

unreachable well of

sadness

released as I surrender

to paper

christopher evans


I began creating watercolour poems February 2025 when i was stuck in an empty house with a chair , a table and a bed and life was quite tense. I had stopped my acrylic painting 6 months earlier due my Dads death and with a need for painting to ground me but not having any space i began making watercolour poems.

The poems are my way to interpret the world , a way of re-connecting myself , joy of painting and communicating something i do not have words for . The poems influence my photography , my other paintings and how i see the world. To me they are sacred and necessary for me to function.
