“The time of waiting is the most difficult of all.” (Sarah Doudney): from here I drew inspiration for the creation of this painting, where the clock that dominates the scene at some point breaks down, losing its balance. In my work I explored the tension of waiting, capturing the essence of slow-moving time. Using refined oils, I poured pure emotions, creating a marriage of expressionism and realism. Each brushstroke reveals a feeling, an unspoken story, a suspended moment, personal reflections on the inexorability of time. This canvas carries an intense energy, a silent dialogue with the viewer, inviting questions about who and what is waiting for the mysterious woman, who reveals in the enigma of her gaze all the answers.
