This collection of paintings delves into the complexity of human experience, identity, and memory, capturing moments of introspection and connection through a blend of figurative and abstract elements. Each piece serves as a visual narrative, bridging the past and present, the visible and the invisible, the personal and the universal. Mother, Sister, Father (Oil on Canvas, 54" × 72", 2019): the juxtaposition of modern figures against a backdrop of traditional architecture suggests a dialogue between the past and present, exploring how history and memory shape contemporary identities. The figures seem to carry the weight of the past while navigating the complexities of their present reality. Father and Brother (Oil on Wood, 30" × 30", 2018): the painting of the young figure cradling a baby introduces themes of care, tenderness, and the cyclical nature of life. The intimate, almost meditative quality of the scene, rendered in soft pinks and reds, evokes a sense of love and continuity, highlighting the delicate bonds that tie generations together. Drowning (Oil on Canvas, 54" × 72", 2019): a self-portrait in a mirror conveys a deep introspection, with the figure seemingly caught in a moment of self-assessment or contemplation. The vibrant greens and yellows create a stark, almost uncomfortable environment, echoing the tension between self-perception and reality.
