Sarah is a contemplative portrait that captures the stillness of a woman lost in thought, seated in a quiet, intimate interior. Rendered in a soft yet expressive palette, the composition blends figuration and abstraction—balancing bold shapes with delicate details. The woman’s downcast gaze and folded arms evoke introspection, patience, and solitude, inviting the viewer into a suspended moment of quiet reflection.

With fluid brushwork and layered color fields—blues, earthy browns, and muted greens—the painting creates a subtle emotional atmosphere. Minimal background elements like flickering candles, faded lines, and abstract symbols enrich the setting without overpowering the subject.

This piece is part of a larger body of work exploring themes of waiting, identity, and emotional presence within everyday spaces.
