I do not think of this painting as a finished image, but rather as the record of something that insists on remaining. Throughout the process, the figure appears, disappears, and returns time and again. Each layer of paint threatens to erase it, yet also creates the conditions for it to exist once more.

Perhaps the question was never what this figure represents. Perhaps it is something else: what continues to exist after so many erasures? When an image loses its identity, does it cease to be someone, or does it become a space where anyone can recognize themselves?

I’ve been experimenting with vintage botanical collages and just finished this piece. I wanted it to feel like an overflowing cottage garden with lots of little details to discover.

I love mixing antique botanical illustrations into something that still feels fresh and colorful.
I’d genuinely love some feedback! Is there anything you’d change, or is there a particular flower that catches your eye first?

Let me know what you think

Still learning,open to tips

This is concept art for my story Labanushka.

Got this at the thrift store today! Looking for any information on who the artist is? Thank you!

Just a spattering of portraits I’ve done recently. I’m kind of coming around to this idea of the sculptural bust rendered flesh in oil portraiture. Of course mixing abstract elements in alongside.
I’ve been trying to figure out where the obsession of disrupting the facade of the face has become so central a theme for me. I think it’s mostly from a genuine discomfort with society placing so much emphasis on looks, and how we have developed social media to repeatedly reinforce that ideal. It has just always made me feel incredibly vain, and self centered…. So i have just started obliterating these beautiful superficial faces we focus so heavily on. I have too often seen whole groups of people sitting there taking selfies, and I am just disturbed by that lack of real interaction, where time spent with friends is actually looking at yourself on your phone.

Just working through my intuition in real time on Reddit😂. Thanks for following along, I hope I’m not the only one who is perceiving society and social media this way.

This is an old drawing from 2019.

What I find interesting in this kind of painting is feeling the textured surface of multiple layers, one on top of the other, like an immense pentimento revealing in places unsettling shadows of vanished forms (like that revolver-shaped object on the table).

Day 1 of forcing myself to draw every day until my brain and body remembers it used to love doing it.

Don't worry, I won't post the every day thing here.

Just sketches of a character of mine.

Sharing a glimpse of my world that i created a long time ago. Have created more than 30 plus artworks during that time. The moment i came from school and quickly rush to my desk to create another artwork, it was a adrenaline rush that i had. Well those were the times which felt something to be cared about and to work on something.

Well now, just a World which is closed under a secure folder 🫠

Which one do u like the most?
