Persephone

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.
