£630.16

"Title: Within Myself
Series: Comfort Zone
Size: 40 × 40 × 4 cm
Medium: Oil on canvas
Technique: Hand-painted original
Year: 2026

A powerful contemporary figurative artwork depicting a female body folded within a dark confined space. The composition explores self-imposed limitation and the paradox of comfort within restriction. The figure appears both strong and fragile — compressed yet resilient — embodying the human tendency to reduce oneself in order to feel safe.

Painted in oil on canvas, the work emphasizes sculptural anatomy, warm skin tones, and dramatic contrast against a deep black background. The compact 40 × 40 cm format reinforces the psychological tension of containment, while subtle transitions of light reveal vulnerability rather than exposure. The absence of facial identity allows the image to function as a universal symbol of inner boundaries.

Part of the Comfort Zone series, Within Myself reflects on the quiet agreements we make with our own limits — and the delicate moment when awareness begins.
