Inside Out 💗💜

Ink & acrylic on paper. Not really about painting a face, more about what’s going on underneath it.

Somewhere between soft and heavy…

For a while now I’ve been exploring this space between portrait and abstraction—where a face isn’t just a face, but more like a feeling. I keep coming back to soft ink lines, layered washes, and little hints of nature that quietly find their way into the work.

I love experimenting, and over time I’ve noticed the lines becoming less defined, drifting more into fluidity. It feels more intuitive, more open.

Balancing on that fine edge — is it done, or is it overdone…
Every layer feels like a question…

Still digging. Still searching for my voice

"In the Quiet Light Gathers"
A face half-formed, half-becoming—held in soft layers of color and silence.

This is solitude, not as absence, but as something alive.
A space where thoughts slow down enough to be seen.
Where the noise falls away and what remains starts to grow.

A portrait of inwardness. Of pausing long enough for clarity to arrive on its own.

Sometimes we don’t need to leave ourselves.
We just need the light to gather a little longer.
