Obscura | 2025

A brooding collection of original acrylic portraits that peer into the shadowed corners of identity, myth, and mischief.

Shadowed faces

These paintings channel an unsettling energy, faces half-lit or obscured, expressions flickering between menace and melancholy. Each figure feels like a fragment from a forgotten history or an uncanny dream, inviting the viewer to linger in ambiguity.

Assembled side by side, these portraits speak not with clarity, but with suggestion, glimpses of lives imagined, distorted, or half-remembered.

Distressed realities

Some works are intentionally distressed, their surfaces worn like relics or relics of memory, suggesting age, trauma, or deliberate erasure. The collection as a whole resists easy interpretation, favouring mood over clarity, emotion over precision.

Obscura | 2025 invites you to stand before these enigmatic faces, and see what stares back.
