Statement:
My work explores the intersection of realism and impressionism, capturing fleeting moments with a sense of depth and intimacy. In this piece, I was captivated by the way sunlight selectively illuminates the fawn's face, creating a focal point that draws the viewer into a quiet, personal encounter. The leaves in the background are more than just a backdrop; they represent the ever-present possibility of disappearance, a reminder of the delicate balance between presence and absence. Yet, the fawn remains, its gaze holding steady, inviting the viewer to share in this intimate exchange. It's about capturing not just what is seen, but the feeling of being seen, creating a connection that transcends the canvas. I aim to evoke a sense of stillness, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the subtle beauty and vulnerability of the natural world.
