These words are something we’ve all said at some point, often when faced with something important but difficult. The painting was created as a personal reminder of how easily tasks can be pushed aside, delayed, or left undone simply because they feel overwhelming. Through this work, Baptiste transforms a familiar phrase into a visual meditation on time, urgency, and accountability. I Will Do It Later stands as both an acknowledgment of human tendency and a gentle push toward action, reminding us that there is no better moment than now. Through layered mixed media acrylic, spray paint, and unconventional tools such as plastering trowels Baptiste creates a surface alive with light, movement, and texture. The work balances the beauty and brightness of nature with the sharp, chaotic energy of urban life, subtly hinting at the ever present gaze of the city, even in moments of escape. See less
