Eyes Closed, Heart Awake

Surrounded by dusky florals and wrapped in warm light, this figure closes her eyes—not in retreat, but in quiet return to self. Her hand rests over her chest, as if marking a place of memory or meaning. This painting is about inner presence, the kind that doesn’t need to be explained or witnessed to be real. With tones both gentle and vivid, the piece holds a pause between feeling and reflection—a moment where wholeness is simply felt.
