Quiet Time, 2024

Medium: Ink, Acrylic and Oil pastels.

Size: 15 x 25 Inches

Description: Quiet Time is a striking exploration of solitude and introspection, rendered in a bold combination of ink, acrylic, and oil pastel. Set within a vivid red room, a woman sits nude on a delicate metal stool, her body painted entirely in black. The sharp contrast of her figure against the vibrant red walls and the black-and-white checkered floor creates a powerful visual tension, which is intimate and theatrical. Captured in profile, her spine bends gently forward, her gaze turned away, lost in inward thought. The decorative curves of the stool and the structured geometry of the floor form a dialogue between the ornate and the orderly, while the woman’s pose speaks to vulnerability, contemplation, and the quiet complexity of being. With layered textures and deliberate contrast, Quiet Time becomes a meditation on identity, presence, and the silent strength found in stillness.
