Contemplation

Young Ballerina

This work resonates as a visual narrative of reunion and affection, articulated through the poised simplicity of gesture and color. It captures the vulnerability and strength found in companionship, floating within a moment of calm intensity where the light of shared presence quietly reverberates.

Reunited

Je Te Désire presents a figure poised within an intimate interplay of light and shadow, inviting contemplation of presence and desire without revealing the subject’s gaze. The composition centers on a woman seated upon an ornate pedestal, her form turned away to reveal the elegant expanse of her bare back framed by an off-the-shoulder gown in deep burgundy. The sumptuous fabric, rendered with careful attention to its texture and drape, contrasts with the smoothness of her skin, creating a measured tension between concealment and exposure.

Je Te Désire

The composition captures a moment suspended between epochs, where the past and present intertwine within a tranquil, verdant space. At its center stands a woman whose attire blends the refined silhouettes of early twentieth-century fashion—a dark green corset-like bodice paired with a softly flowing skirt—with an ambiguity that resists temporal confinement. The figure holds a paper, a subtle yet purposeful gesture that invites contemplation without revealing its content, suggesting a narrative both personal and elusive.

Remiscing

Prima Ballerina presents a poised figure captured in a moment of quiet stillness that balances grace with introspection. The seated dancer, adorned in a vividly hued orange tutu detailed with ornate golden trim and a harmonizing bodice, embodies a disciplined artistry rooted in classical ballet tradition. Her carefully composed posture—one arm reaching delicately toward the floor while the other rests gently—reflects both the physical rigor and the subtle vulnerability intrinsic to the performer’s experience. The downward tilt of her head and closed eyes suggest a deliberate withdrawal into an internal realm, offering a glimpse into the contemplative spaces that underlie public performance.

Prima Ballerina

This composition invites contemplation through the subtle interplay of form and color, centering on a solitary female figure seated with her back exposed. The figure’s upper torso is unveiled, framed by loosely gathered hair that suggests ease and quiet restraint. A deep crimson cloth is carefully arranged around her waist, its rich hue resonating against a backdrop of layered, fiery tones—shades of red, orange, and golden yellow—that create a compelling visual warmth. The application of oil paint is intentionally textured, lending a tactile quality that enhances the depth and emotional presence of the scene without resorting to overt detail.
