This painting explores the sheltering spaces incorporated in our everyday which might be physical, emotional, or digital, in the current fast paced and over-stimuling experience of the present. Our hightened sensorial intake feels synthetic when the expressions of the self disengage the body.

Experiencing our body through a screen, can magnify the distraction and entrainement lens through which we encounter the world. The silent qualities of painting, I believe can draw us closer to ourselves and the introspective silences we long for.

Oil on Canvas
4x6ft
