Two Sisters is a layered mixed-media portrait about closeness, memory, contrast, and the quiet complexity of being known by another person
Two faces emerge from a richly textured surface — distinct, yet bound together by color, movement, and shared atmosphere. One face looks forward with stillness and intensity, while the other appears lower, partially hidden, almost resting within the composition. Around them, expressive marks in pink, yellow, green, blue, white, and earth tones move like fragments of story: childhood, difference, protection, ache, affection, and becoming
The black frame gives the piece structure and presence, allowing the emotional energy of the work to remain vivid without feeling uncontained
This original painting carries both tenderness and tension. It speaks to the mystery of sisterhood — the ways we mirror, wound, remember, protect, misunderstand, and love one another across time
“A sister is someone who loves you from the heart. No matter how much you argue you cannot be drawn apart. She is a joy that cannot be taken away. Once she enters your life, she is there to stay.”
Definitely experimenting with this new style. I stumbled upon it - totally by accident. I felt like there is something new I wanted express for a while now, and I wanted to play with painting knifes - except I had none! Of course I improvised and I used a pair or tweezers I usually use when I work with pieces of broken glass. It just proves even more that taking a chance and experimenting pays back! Experiment and free your artistic soul!
