About Zach

This painting, along with Zara, are a set, that I call the "Intertwined Souls". They describe a profound sense of connection that transcends physical boundaries. They portray a couple engaging in longing gazes, and the ethereal aura that envelops them. While their bodies stand apart, a delicate, shimmering thread of light weaves between their souls, symbolizing an unbreakable bond. This artwork captures the essence of a love that defies distance, where their hearts beat as one despite the physical separation.

In this piece, titled "Gentleman in Solitude," the artist skillfully portrays 'Zach', who is adorned in a spectrum of rich and lively colors. The room around him is bathed in a kaleidoscope of hues, symbolizing the hope and anticipation of reuniting with his love. His attire, a symphony of vivid shades, exudes optimism and the promise of a joyful encounter. Despite the apparent solitude, this painting bursts with the energy of anticipation, leaving viewers with the sense that a colorful reunion is just on the horizon.

Abstract and contemporary artwork. Mixed media on canvas.

Zach and Zara are sold separately, but they were painted as one work. Hung side by side, the thread between them is the whole point. Take both and the second piece is 10% off, applied automatically at checkout.

An artwork from the "Reality Eclipsed" collection

Every person carries a second self, the one who says the thing out loud, who does not shrink, who is not managing anyone else's comfort. Most of us keep that self folded away. The figures in this collection are those selves let out. They are not portraits of people the artist has met. They are what a trait looks like when it stops apologising: strength without permission, loyalty without noise, tenderness that refuses to be mistaken for weakness.

She paints them at full volume, pattern layered on pattern until the background stops behaving and starts answering them. That is where the collection takes its name. Reality does not disappear, it is eclipsed, pushed briefly behind something larger. She hopes whoever lives with one of these works recognises a little of their own hidden self in it, and treats that self more generously.
