“Night Stalls”

Night Stalls captures the quiet poetry of a night market settling into itself — fabric stalls, simple structures, and pools of artificial light within an otherwise ordinary scene. Inspired by wandering into the market after a long day of walking and exploring unfamiliar streets, this painting was born from a mix of exhaustion and curiosity.

Immersed in a new culture, these everyday stalls felt unexpectedly vibrant and alive. Rather than focusing on the crowd, the attention shifts to overlooked details — the glow of lanterns, the repetition of forms, the calm that exists alongside movement. In doing so, Night Stalls reveals how familiar spaces can transform into something gentle, atmospheric, and quietly beautiful when seen through fresh eyes.

Together with Morning Stalls and Dusk Stalls, this piece completes a full-day narrative of the same place. Night Stalls represents arrival and release — a moment of rest found in the glow of evening, and a reminder of the childlike wonder that lives in the quiet corners of a bustling world.
