In My Hands
$7500.00
This is a striking figurative abstract artwork that captures the quiet intimacy of care, protection, and emotional connection. The composition centers on a stylized figure holding a rounded form close to the body, suggesting tenderness, responsibility, and the sacred act of carrying what is precious. Through fragmented planes, layered textures, and warm earth tones balanced with cool blues and whites, the artwork creates a sense of both strength and vulnerability. The figure’s elongated features, closed or contemplative gaze, and gently placed hands invite the viewer into a reflective moment. The title, In My Hands, reinforces the emotional weight of the image: what we hold, what we nurture, and what we choose to protect. Rich impasto-like surfaces, geometric divisions, and expressive color blocks give the piece a sculptural presence, making it visually powerful and emotionally resonant.

Artist Statement
My work explores the layered nature of identity—how culture, memory, and personal experience intersect to shape who we are. Through fragmented forms and textured surfaces, I aim to capture both the unity and tension within the human experience. The faces in my compositions are not just individuals; they are reflections of shared histories, inner dialogues, and evolving identities. I use color and structure to bridge tradition and modernity, inviting viewers to find their own story within the work.
Through a deliberate manipulation of texture, color, and form, I invite viewers to pause and look beneath the surface. Each piece is an excavation of personal and collective truths—a way to honor where we come from while questioning where we are going. Ultimately, my practice is a search for balance in a chaotic world, capturing moments of stillness amidst the noise.
