This arresting portrait pays homage to the quiet resilience of women shaped by culture and history. In “The Romanian,” strength meets grace in a gaze that feels both contemporary and timeless. A deeply human work — and a meaningful acquisition for collectors seeking portraits of powerful femininity. Part of the series "Portraits of the Timeless Dreamers"
In this series of expressive oil portraits, I explored the fluid nature of identity throughthe lens of those who dare to dream beyond the visible. Each faceless figure emerges from bold, emotive brushstrokes — not to erase who they are, but to suggest that identity is not fixed, but felt. It lives in motion, color, and emotion.
The dreamers in these works are not confined to features or names. Instead, they are rendered in vibrant greens, violets, reds, and ochres — hues that carry longing, resilience, hope, and memory. These portraits exist outside of time, outside of category.
