Divided Grace

The work presents a divided identity, between clarity and shadow. On the left, the figure radiates an elegant, poised calm; on the right, features dissolve and new textures surface, hinting at metamorphosis. This tonal and formal shift invites the viewer to read the painting as a portrait in transition, where personal memory confronts the mask we wear before the world. The gentle palette and handling of gesture create a sense of intimacy and latent tension, suggesting that beauty can coexist with fragility and transformation.
