Size: 12 inch x 12 inch canvas

$500
Suspended in a sea of swirling, cosmic hues, a solitary face emerges—her gaze arresting, vulnerable, and timeless. The intensity of her eyes pierces through the abstract fluidity surrounding her, as if holding secrets the universe itself cannot contain. Each brushstroke and layer of color captures the tension between chaos and stillness, beauty and fragility, presence and disappearance.

The background, alive with iridescent currents of fuchsia, emerald, and violet, becomes both a battlefield and a sanctuary for the figure—suggesting transformation, rebirth, and the fragile strength of the human spirit. The viewer is compelled to return to her gaze, again and again, discovering new depths of intimacy and mystery.

This painting is more than an image—it is an encounter. A masterpiece that resonates with collectors who seek works embodying both emotional gravitas and contemporary allure.
