About this work

Layers of acrylic, oil, and tempera on cotton-mounted panel merge a human figure into surrounding fields of color, with cool and warm tones held in tension across the surface. The artist's method of building, disrupting with opaque paint, and rebuilding produces unplanned ridges and fluid traces that lend the work a pronounced material presence beyond its imagery. The figure's deliberately ambiguous expression leaves viewers to gauge whether being submerged in color signals unease or comfort—visualizing an everyday ambivalence without resolution.
