Expression

Description

This piece stands for expression and freedom: It is my first oil painting created entirely without a reference, which is why I named it “Expression.”
The impulse to break away from the constraints of reference-based work led me to a free, intuitive painting process.
The motif – a woman enjoying a quiet moment within herself – wasn’t planned, but emerged organically in the flow of creation.
She symbolizes my own experience during the painting: an act of liberation, inner calm, and pure expression.
