The details of a new piece can be found below.
It continues on from the previous blog post “In Her Room” and is currently WIP.
This diptych unfolds as a suspended moment of recognition between two otherworldly, non-binary figures, each occupying their own canvas yet bound together across the divide.
Facing one another, they cradle each other’s faces with a tenderness that feels both deeply human and entirely alien, suggesting a love that transcends gender, species, and time.
The space between the canvases becomes charged - a liminal threshold where connection exists not through touch alone, but through mirrored presence, longing, and mutual becoming.
Behind them, a twisting tornado coils through the landscape like a living current of emotion, embodying the chaos and intensity that so often accompanies intimacy and transformation.
Three pyramids rise in the distance as timeless sentinels, rooting this surreal encounter within the memory of ancient civilizations and sacred geometries, as if this moment of love has been witnessed across millennia. Framing the entire scene, soft pink curtains fall to the left and right, parting the world like a stage or a dream being gently opened. They invite the viewer into a private ritual of connection - an intimate theatre where vulnerability, desire, and cosmic belonging quietly unfold.
Reflect: There are certain techniques I master, and others I am far from mastering, but wish to. These last few paintings have been a great way to test new ideas, as without testing, I will never find my signature style, and so far, I am noticing the pleasure that I have been taking in brightly coloured pieces, counter-balancing all the black and white in my life, especially in my illustrations, up until now.
Plan: Running on the same motivation that was already in place from the previous paintings, I decided to continue creating by staying in all weekend, and focusing on new art pieces. When I create that space to hyper focus - i.e. no early morning appointments, no nights out, no crazy travel plans - then a lot gets done.
Act: Creating 5 canvases in one weekend, built upon several months of thought and reflection. My biggest challenge is action. If I keep up this momentum, I will have a fantastic new body of works for myself, for the upcoming Paris show, for London, and beyond.
Observe: My interpretation of reality is seen through a Surrealism prism, but it is also seen through an optimistic prism - I might have strong, feminist energy - and thoughts - but I certainly do not want to portray the world as negative in my art. I think that more movement and action can be gleaned through positive action, and the symbols I chose to include in my pieces (pyramids, curtains, etc) point towards new beginnings, portals, and evolution. These, I think, are my key running themes.
