Original artwork description:

The figure is not a literal being—it represents a memory, an inner gaze, or a lingering consciousness that infiltrates beauty with unease. It’s the watcher inside the watched. The flowers, while vivid and gestural, function almost like camouflage, masking what lies beneath.

I’m interested in the tension between surface and depth, pleasure and disturbance. What happens when a painting reveals something you weren’t supposed to notice? This piece invites that moment of recognition—the subtle collapse of what’s decorative into what’s unsettling.

Materials used:

Acrylic and oil on soft
