Interiors/Exteriors
Inspired by the quiet poetry of Vilhelm Hammershøi, these paintings capture the stillness of everyday spaces. The muted tones, soft pastels, and delicate play of light evoke moments of contemplation and intimacy. Within these interiors, absence becomes presence — the silence of a room, the trace of a figure, the intimacy of domestic life. They are less about the objects themselves and more about the emotions that linger in the spaces we inhabit.
