Wine is a Mocker

2024 | Acrylic on Canvas, Stretched on Wood Frame

Titled after the biblical proverb, this piece doesn’t preach — instead, it offers a tender look at ritual, solitude, and the moments that follow a pour. A figure holds a glass of wine, not in celebration but in contemplation. Shadows deepen the mood while her yellow-flowered dress lights the frame. A small red dot flickers in the background — distant but gently insistent, like a memory.
