Original artwork description:

For this mixed media piece I layered washes of pastel in cool blues and warm coral tones, letting them blend and break apart across her face to reflect the beautiful complexity of being human. Her features are realistic but not rigid—she’s a little bit dreamlike, a little bit grounded. The background, with its textured white and gray streaks, adds contrast and makes her presence even more striking.

I love how her eyes seem to follow you, asking questions without saying a word. If you’re drawn to art that invites introspection and emotion, this piece might speak to you just as it spoke to me while creating it.

Colors: Black, brown, white, gray, blue, green, coral, red, yellow
