Ephemeral

"Ephemeral" is an ongoing series of expressive and colorful portraits. In this series the portrait is not about capturing an external likeness of a subject, but rather creating a portal to the inner journey of self exploration, relying on the free-flowing processes of memory and creative imagination. They explore concepts relating to the construction and deconstruction of the identity – a process that attempts to reconsider the conventions of figurative painting through a continued pursuit toward abstraction. Other main themes are gender, feminism and the female gaze.
