Anna&Phelippe

2026 · 80 × 90 cm, oil on canvas A commissioned portrait created as a gift — an intimate gesture translated into paint. Developed from photographic references, the composition captures a quiet moment of connection: two figures leaning into each other, suspended between celebration and stillness. The restrained violet-blue monochrome softens the narrative, shifting attention away from literal reality toward atmosphere and emotional presence. Rather than aiming for strict realism, the painting explores the subtle tension between likeness and interpretation. The limited palette unifies the figures, dissolving boundaries between them and creating a shared visual space.

Minela and Max

2022 · 60 × 40 cm, acrylic on canvas board “Minela and Max” is a joyful and intimate acrylic painting celebrating love, closeness, and affection. Captured in warm tones, the couple’s kiss radiates tenderness and human connection. Their expressive faces, painted with texture and depth, embody both passion and authenticity. This portrait honors the beauty of shared moments and the vulnerability of love.

Night Wave

2021 · 50 × 70 cm, acrylic on canvas Night Wave is a haunting seascape where a single glowing crest rises against a dark sky — a metaphor for emotion, change, and the vast unknown.
