Inside what

ByWilha Duncan December 1, 2023

“Separated by a few years, my interest in painting social moments in interior spaces subconsciously seeps into these paintings. The warm atmosphere, combined with subtle disproportions, disfigurations, and surreal elements, connects these works and hopes to provide an inviting, nonexistent space.”

A couple sit in a living room, each on mismatched armchairs with their feet piled on a coffee table. They both stare at their hands. There are parts of other rooms showing in the background. There is a wine glass and a water glass and a coffee cup on the side tables.

Woman wearing pink goggles and a headscarf holds a blue-green teacup in one hand and a bird perches on her other hand.

Two people sit back, relaxed on a green sofa, watching two people in the side of the painting embrace.
