These three paintings form a cohesive visual statement that navigates the tension between surface and depth, emotion and form.
Through bold color, volumetric abstraction, and a tightly controlled composition, the works invite viewers into a space where identity becomes fluid and expression is stripped to its essential gestures.
Rather than depicting the figure, they embody psychological presence—evoking the inner states of being through material intensity and spatial compression. The series reflects a contemporary sensibility that is both intimate and estranged, tactile yet conceptually charged.
