Do You See Me Yet? Painting

'Do You See Me Yet?' is a study in vulnerability and the silent power of presence. The grayscale palette accentuates the elegance of the figure, capturing the tension between exposure and concealment. The figure's head is tilted back, her throat adorned with delicate necklaces that suggest both fragility and strength. The black dress, with its fluid lines, contrasts with the pale skin, creating a striking visual that draws the eye to the curves of the body and the subtle textures of the fabric. This painting is influenced by the minimalist sensuality of Egon Schiele and the quiet, introspective realism of Edward Hopper. It seeks to explore themes of identity, visibility, and the longing for recognition, offering a moment of introspection that is both intimate and universal.
