Bliss

2009, 69" x 75", Mixed media on un-stretched canvas

Soft, blended colors—mainly pastels like light yellows, pinks, and greens—creates a gentle, dreamlike atmosphere. Rough, textured strokes and layered approach bring depth and motion to the face, adding emotional complexity to the image. The raw, un-stretched canvas reinforces an organic, intimate, and expressive quality.
