Dark Feminine

This body if work presents the female figure as self-possessed and ungoverned. Each painting depicts a woman who exists outside expectation—neither ornamental nor submissive, but grounded in her own authority. The figures are calm, confrontational, and deliberate, meeting the viewer without concession.

Informed by historical figuration and classical materials, the work draws on visual languages traditionally associated with reverence and control, then redirects them. Gold, when present, operates as a material of power rather than devotion, set against restrained, darkened grounds that heighten psychological intensity. The compositions favor stillness over spectacle, allowing presence itself to carry weight.

These paintings are created as singular objects rather than narrative illustrations. Meaning is held, not explained. Power is internal, embodied, and enduring—asserted through gaze, posture, and restraint. This body of work is intended for collectors drawn to contemporary figurative realism that engages with darker feminine archetypes through discipline, symbolism, and permanence.

Lover's Eye Series

Each Lover’s Eye work is conceived as a cabinet-of-curiosities object—meant to be encountered closely, displayed deliberately, and collected as a fragment of preserved intimacy rather than a decorative image.These works sit comfortably alongside historical objects, reliquaries, and personal collections, rewarding slow looking and private ownership. Designed for collectors drawn to symbolic, object-based works that blur the line between fine art and artifact.
