"The One Across — He's Only 'FOR'" (2026) Original Oil Painting by Nina Grigel

Series: "Voyeurism"
Voyeuristic practices, despite criticism, exist in a space of blurred ethics, where the gaze can be perceived as an act of violence, as investigative curiosity, or even as a manifestation of care. It is a walk on thin ice, in which everything depends on the viewer and their position.
As an artist in this series, I do not tell stories nor reveal the viewer's intentions regarding what they see. My works are open to speculative interpretations: a randomly glimpsed mise‑en‑scène can be the object of a neutral gaze or an intrusion into personal space, can be an act of consumption or a form of care.
Let me know if you need any adjustments to the wording or style.
