Snuggle

About this work

Two cats press close together at the center of the composition, their bodies forming a single quiet mass. Built on a cotton-mounted panel, the painting layers opaque pigment and transparent glazes in repeated cycles, producing fine shifts of light across individual strands of fur and a luminous depth within the eyes. Background elements are pared back to foreground the intimate proximity of the subjects, translating observed reality into a distilled stillness that holds the viewer's gaze.
