A still moment: self-portrait

Title: A Still Moment: Self-Portrait
Medium: Oil Paint
Description:
The deep, verdant tones and abstract brushstrokes of this painting aim to relay my quiet reflection— through my art I find I can pause and encounter the calm that painting offers me. Through the softly focused gaze and subtle interplay of light and shadow, I invite the viewer to share in this contemplative interlude, where art becomes a path toward solace and self-discovery. In capturing my likeness against a background of abstraction, I hope to convey the serene resonance that painting brings to my life, allowing both me and the observer to linger in a moment of restorative peace.
