In this series of paintings I turn to the figure to explore form and emotions. I am not chasing anatomical precision but rather to listen for what the body doesn’t say out loud- the silences, the pauses, the presence that lingers. Each painting carries something tender: a trace of memory, a flicker of longing, a kind of fragile strength.
This work is about being human, about the ache of remembering, the pull of desire, the beauty of vulnerability. I paint to stay close to those things, not to perfect them, but to feel them.
I have always been drawn to Classical Greek sculpture-not just for the idealised forms, but for the way they manage to make stillness feel alive. There is a kind of quiet presence in those figures, a serenity that doesn’t shout but holds your gaze. What fascinates me is how they use drapery- not just as clothing, but as something more intimate. It clings and falls in ways that both reveal and hide the body underneath, like a second skin.
