My portraits share the confident, direct gaze of each subject—a knowing look that creates an immediate connection with the viewer. These paintings are bold and unapologetic, celebrating the strength and self-assurance of the individuals I portray. Each subject meets the viewer with an open, powerful expression, inviting a moment of recognition and reflection. Through this focused gaze, the portraits embody a sense of presence and command, revealing the inner certainty and depth within each person.
