What She Keeps
8” × 8 “ In. | Acrylic and Oil Pastel on Paper | Original Artwork
A solitary figure meets the viewer’s gaze in What She Keeps. Her still expression and composed posture are set against a deeply worked field of green, black and muted gold, while unexpected passages of turquoise, violet and coral move across her face and clothing.
The portrait offers presence without explanation. Subtle divisions of colour suggest an inner complexity, but the figure remains self-possessed—visible, yet not entirely revealed. Her direct gaze creates an encounter in which looking does not necessarily grant understanding.
What She Keeps considers the distance that can remain between seeing another person and truly knowing them.
