lilac’s gaze, 2023

Oil on fabric

30 x 40 in

This piece is a portrait that captures a quiet, introspective moment. The background is wrapped in a soft lilac fabric, a deliberate choice that mirrors the color of the bag draped over her shoulder. This creates a visual harmony between the subject and her surroundings, unifying the composition.

Her pose, with both hands gently placed to one side of her face, and her gaze softly cast over her shoulder, evokes a sense of calm and grace. Through this work, I sought to capture not only her physical presence but also the serenity and thoughtfulness that radiates from her. The lilac hue enhances the gentle, reflective mood of the piece, drawing attention to the subtle elegance of the moment.
