Artwork Description

Tender Disguise

100.0 x 100.0 cm

Tender Disguise explores the subtle tension between what is shown and what is held back. The figures appear playful, adorned with color, gesture, and suggestion — yet beneath the surface lies emotional depth and quiet strength. The painted marks resemble fragments of masks, not to conceal, but to protect. They hint at identity without defining it. Softness and confidence coexist, inviting the viewer to look beyond expression and into presence. This series reflects the beauty of guarded openness — where vulnerability is not exposed, but chosen. Where strength lives gently, without the need to announce itself.
