OBSCURED I untold stories
In "Obscured" I explore the intricate interplay between visibility and concealment, using drapery as a metaphor for the complexities of human experience. The collection delves into the delicate boundaries that define our personal narratives, often left untold. Some pieces focus on the figure through its absence, depicting only the layers of clothing to emphasize these boundaries. Others present drapes in their purest form, as hidden phantoms or backdrops, evoking the thresholds that both separate and connect the inner self to the outer world, veiling the mystery.
As I worked on this collection, memories of my childhood surfaced—memories of watching my mother sew clothes, creating patterns with different textures and colors for our family. These intimate memories, often taken for granted, reemerge in my artistic expressions, reminding me of the deep connections between our past and our creative endeavors.

“My intention was to paint these emotions rather than simply depict figures or drapery, inviting viewers to interpret the narrative within each still-frame. Through this approach, I hope to evoke a personal and emotional response, encouraging the viewer to connect with the underlying stories within each work.”
