Rise from the Shadows is part of a deeper exploration into intimacy and quiet vulnerability. The figure appears caught in transition—half in shadow, half in light—a visual metaphor for the delicate balance between being seen and self-protection.
Drawn from a long-term muse, the piece began as a personal study, but grew into something more universal: the courage it takes to be visible, and the ache that often comes with it. Rendered in black and white pencils on toned paper, it reflects my ongoing search for emotional presence in figurative art—not just form, but feeling.
“You know how to capture the sensual details of a woman, it’s mind-blowing. I feel so happy to see your work… it boosts a different kind of confidence in myself. I haven’t seen a man capture a woman so beautifully—so sensually.”
