SILENT CONVERSATION is a collection of portrait paintings of women trying to
create a dialogue between the viewer and the ‘paintings’.
The paintings, I feel, command attention and I consider them thought
provoking.
Though not quite detailed, the portraits silently hold the
attention of the viewer. It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul and
the main outstanding feature of these portraits are the eyes - they are dark
and look directly into the eyes of the viewer, this creates an emotional
disturbance.
The exhibition interrogates the relationship between the
artist, the art and the viewer, between what the society considers as beauty
and ugly, sad and happy, stereotypes and judgment.
The exhibition features 25 portraits of different
dimensions all produced in 2014.

My work embodies my
interest in socio-economic situations in life, while at the same time trying to
provoke thoughts that are driven towards the judgment of these situations. I
consider my paintings as a platform for conversation from within an individual
or between two or more people. My main subject is human, with a keen interest
in their emotions as expressed through their eyes.
My sources of Inspiration are endless. I am deeply
interested in children and women as I see them both as vessels and sources of
life. I have a keen interest on world religions and arts. I take my time to
look and try to understand the different visual languages employed by artists
from different parts of the world.
