This portrait captures a moment of serene patience, portraying a woman standing in profile, her hands gently clasped. The muted tones of her clothing and the subtle textures in the background suggest a quiet strength beneath her calm exterior. I wanted to evoke a sense of stillness, a waiting that is both deliberate and peaceful. The soft layers of color and the delicate linework come together to create a timeless atmosphere, where the viewer is invited to reflect on the woman's inner world—what she may be anticipating, or what thoughts linger behind her composed expression.
The piece was crafted using mixed media, with careful attention to textures and tones that enhance the figure’s contemplative stance. I hope it speaks to those moments in life when we stand still and simply wait, grounded yet ready.
