Title: Hiding From the World

Oil on canvas | 80X120 cm 2025 "Hiding From the World" captures the feeling of overwhelming vulnerability and the urge to shut out the harsh realities of life. The subject, with hands pressed firmly against her face, conveys a powerful sense of self-isolation, as though the weight of the world is too much to bear. The vibrant red nails stand in stark contrast to the muted tones of the background, hinting at a hidden strength beneath the surface. This painting reflects a deeply human moment—when we feel compelled to retreat from the world and hide from the demands placed upon us. Yet, there is an underlying quiet defiance, a gesture of holding on in the face of emotional turmoil.
