Series: Portrait of Everyone & No-one

Portrait of Everyone & No-one explores the border between dreaming and reality. The faces we encounter in our dreams are not entirely new but a collage of those we've seen while awake. By painting intuitively from imagination, portraits emerge that are not of a specific person, but carry the essence of all who have passed through my life.

This piece delves into the concept of the shadow self—the darker aspects of our personalities that we often hide or feel ashamed of. By embracing these elements, the portraits encourage viewers to confront their own complexities and acknowledge the parts of themselves that are typically obscured. Through this exploration, the series invites a deeper understanding of identity , encouraging a dialogue between light and shadow, presence and absence, as we navigate our own narratives.
