About my painting titled “Unmasked Love”

This painting, Unmasked Love is an emotional exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the many masks we wear in life. A story of two lovers—entangled not just in each other, but in their own fears, roles, and hidden selves.
The lady is sitting in a sensuous posture, holding a mask close to her face, caught in a moment of introspection: is she about to wear it, or has she just taken it off?
At her feet, her lover reaches upward—perhaps for a mask, perhaps toward her, towards truth. As though asking her to be real, to let go of the performance, and simply love without pretence.
Around them hang other masks—silent witnesses to the many roles they’ve played for each other. The strong one. The mysterious one. The one who pretends everything’s okay….
The use of grayscale for the figures adds a raw, honest energy to the composition. The red chair she sits on, bright and unmissable, holds her like truth holds love… bold, raw, and often uncomfortable.

This painting is about that moment in love when you realize: to truly be together, you have to take off the masks. To love someone fully, you must let yourself be seen. It invites you to reflect, connect, and perhaps, unmask a little of your own story.

About my series: “We Two Together”

“Painting is another way of keeping a Diary” Pablo Picasso. The quote by Pablo Picasso holds immense influence over my figurative paintings. In today’s digital age, where information is readily available at the click of a button, our lives and relationships have undergone a significant transformation. The pages of my life’s diary are filled with experiences of evolving relationships, which I strive to portray through my artwork.

Motivated to stay in stride with the changing world, my artistic focus primarily revolves around the contemporary woman of today. This modern-day woman is a symbol of versatility, fuelled by independence and self-attained equilibrium. She is complete, flawless, and self-sufficient in every aspect and challenge that life presents. Free from the constraints that hold her back, she has the power to realize her true self.

By consistently simplifying the form, I have crafted a universal, absolute figure that represents and relates to all women, irrespective of their differences and peculiarities. The protagonists in my artworks transcend boundaries and divisions, uniting and amalgamating all women through a shared, common soul. This interconnectedness brings women together as a collective force.

Rendered in a controlled and mature color palette, the strong, modern women in my paintings make no attempt to hideor shy away. I consciously choose to refrain from incorporating ornamental accessories and excessive details. This intentional ambiguity enhances the universal appeal of the form, making it relatable to women from all walks of life.

Within my paintings, women are depicted willingly surrendering themselves to boundless affection in some instances, while in others, they emotionally detach themselves from relationships devoid of respect and freedom. Regardless of their choices regarding relationships, these women excel at refraining from pretence and superficial living. Their authenticity shines through their actions.

Fundamentally believing in the equality of gender, I recognize that men and women are integral parts of each other’s lives. However, it remains a well-known fact that women have been historically deprived of their rights and, most importantly, their respect. As a woman myself, I have always strived to give women the importance they truly deserve. Therefore, they take center stage and occupy the most prominent positions in my artworks.

To symbolize the pursuit of perfection within the modern human race, I employ symmetrical forms like squares, rectangles, checks, and butterflies to cover the human figures in my paintings. These geometric shapes represent the desire for flawlessness and balance, encapsulating the aspirations and struggles we all face as individuals striving for fulfillment.

In each stroke of my brush, I aim to create a vivid portrayal of the contemporary woman – powerful, resilient, and unapologetically

herself. Through my figurative paintings, I hope to evoke emotions, challenge norms, and ignite a dialogue that encapsulates the essence of being a woman in the present era.
