Persephone
Oil Pastel on Canvas
2025

A portrait exploring duality and transition. The teal bolt fractures across the woman's face, reflecting the myth's tension between two worlds — warmth and darkness, choice and captivity.

This piece juxtaposes the upset of a self torn in
two — the bolt of cool teal severing warmth from shadow, presence from absence.

Bold, clashing color pushes that emotional turmoil to the surface.
