Against your Gaze

Against Your Gaze, 2026

Original oil stick painting on gessoed cotton paper, 62.5 x 48 cm

A turned figure faces away, held between exposed skin and a dark blue-black field.

About the work

A seated figure is seen from behind, the body lit in warm ochre, peach and muted violet against a dense dark ground.
The head turns away from the viewer, making the painting feel both intimate and withheld.

In Against Your Gaze, the figure resists direct encounter.
The work holds a quiet tension between being seen and remaining private, with the surrounding darkness pressing close around the body’s vulnerable presence.
