Across these canvases, faces emerge and dissolve in the same instant, caught between exposure and concealment. Heavy layers of paint distort the features, turning expressions into shadows of thought and memory.
What remains is less about likeness than about suggestion; a visual echo of what is hidden, blurred, or withheld. The monochrome palette deepens the sense of drama, its contrasts evoking both elegance and unease.
Hanging in a pared-back interior, the pieces sharpen the mood, giving a modern living space a quiet edge or turning a study into a place of private reflection. In transitional areas like corridors or entryways, they leave an indelible first impression, pulling the viewer into their ambiguity.
They invite contemplation, offering fragments that the eye pieces together. The result is not portraiture in the traditional sense but an exploration of absence as presence, silence given form.
