SILENT RESISTANCE.

This is a piece I did entitled 'silent resistance'. it captures an intimate and intense moment of vunribility, with a person shielding their face with their hands the soft brushstrokes used to render the skin contrast with the dark, almost oppressive black background, creating a sense of isolation or emotional depth. The blonde hair spilling out from under the hands adds a touch of warmth and fragility, while the details of the jacket sleeve and buttons hint at a formal or structured exterior that contrasts with the raw, emotional gesture. The gold ring on the hand might symbolize commitment or attachment, adding layers of interpretation—possibly referencing a struggle between external responsibilities and internal emotions. The piece invites viewers to connect with its emotional core, exploring themes of protection, fear, or self-preservation.

CONVERSATIONS IN SILHOUETTE.

This painting entitled 'Conversationin Silhouette',  features two shadowy, dark green silhouettes against a bold red and gray background. The figures stand in contrast to the stark geometric shapes of the space, suggesting they occupy an undefined environment. The absence of detail in their features makes them universally relatable, focusing attention on their posture and interaction. The bold red wall creates an intense, dramatic backdrop, possibly symbolizing tension, passion, or urgency in their communication. The minimalist style invites viewers to interpret the narrative or emotional undertone based on their own perspective, offering an abstract exploration of human connection or isolation.
