In this dynamic portrait, the figure’s face and hands emerge through layers of vibrant, chaotic brushstrokes, blending realism with abstraction in a symphony of colour and form. Bold streaks of orange, purple, and muted greys cascade across her features, as if her essence is woven into a tapestry of raw expression. Her eyes are half-closed, lost in contemplation, while her hands cradle her face in a gesture of vulnerability or reflection, grounding her in a moment of inner stillness amid the surrounding intensity.

This piece captures the duality of self—poised between inner calm and outer chaos, between structure and spontaneity. The painted layers evoke the complexity of identity, each colour and mark suggesting the emotions, memories, and dreams that coexist within us. It invites the viewer to see beyond the surface, to glimpse the hidden stories layered within each brushstroke, reminding us that beauty often arises from embracing the interplay of order and disorder within our own lives.
