INITIALS
I’m not a figurative artist—at least not in the traditional sense.
But I’m deeply drawn to capturing the essence of the people I know, the energy they carry, and the emotions they evoke. This series represents that desire.
This is how I paint portraits—not through likeness, but through feeling, memory, and presence on canvas.
