About the Artwork:

As part of my ongoing fascination with light and shadow, ‘Opalescent Embrace’ is part of a series of paintings exploring the relationship between the figure and a handheld fan, each conveying a distinct feeling or message. Through carefully composed scenes, I aim to evoke curiosity, delight, and an appreciation for the subtle details revealed in the interplay of light and shadow. This 2024 series draws inspiration from the luminous hues of opals and the shifting colours of sunsets and sunrises.
