echoing the domes and rooftops beyond

A quiet moment at the edge of movement

painted without euphemism or restraint

A single arm breaches the picture plane to touch the reclining figure

The work confronts the uneasy boundary between observer and observed — the moment when looking becomes contact

There’s a cinematic intimacy in the way this piece opens outward from within

evoking the physical and psychological ascent of the alpine landscape — harsh

You can nearly taste the dust

Part figure

capturing the quiet interior world of someone suspended in their own thoughts

A lone rider makes their way across fractured ground with a single pack horse in tow

A dramatic study of elevation and contrast
