Upward Gaze
A striking figurative portrait rendered in crayon on canvas board, this work uses an upward perspective and expressive mark-making to heighten vulnerability and inner tension. The earthy ground contrasts with luminous skin tones and vivid green eyes, creating a dramatic, intimate presence that holds the viewer’s attention.

I’ve always loved creating, but getting started was a struggle that lasted for a long time. I was held back by the fear that I wouldn’t like the final result, so I never began. Yet my mind was always full of ideas, inspired by nature, everyday objects, and people. Over the past three years, I’ve faced personal challenges and lived through wars, like everyone else. In comparison, my fear of the outcome no longer seemed relevant. Since then, I haven’t stopped creating.
