Field of Mysteries

2024 | Acrylic and Marker on Canvas, Stretched on Wood Frame

A young girl, lost in thought, sits amidst a vibrant field of yellow flowers. A summer hat shades her face, her gaze directed towards the viewer. Her expression is serene, one eye visible in the soft, impressionistic brushstrokes. The background is a dreamy blend of blue and mauve, painted with broad, expressive strokes that add to the overall peaceful atmosphere. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and contemplation, as the girl seems lost in her own thoughts.

This gives a feeling of mystery, and captivates the viewer, with a fleeting need to join her and ask what is on her mind. The artist wants the viewer to ask themselves, is she alone because she's lonely or is she lonely because she's alone?
