Sunset Sips
This piece is part of a series.
Closer to the surface, closer to the feeling.
The focus shifts to fragments of the face. Expression without the full story.
Just enough to recognise, not enough to define.
 
From a distance, it settles into something soft and familiar.

Up close, it breaks apart—brushstrokes, movement, warmth, instinct.
 
There’s a looseness in this one.

Less control, more response.

Colours bleeding, edges dissolving, moments left unresolved on purpose.
It sits somewhere between realism and abstraction—where skin becomes paint, and paint becomes emotion.
 
Like most of our work, it’s not about capturing a person exactly as they are, but something more fleeting. A mood. A moment. That in-between space you can’t quite hold onto.
