Caught Red-handed

Caught Red-Handed, 2022
Acrylic on canvas
24 x 18 in. (61 x 46 cm)

A moment of sudden exposure—caught in the act, with no escape. Caught Red-Handed captures the raw intensity of realization, where the mind scrambles for a defense, but the body betrays the truth. The figure’s vivid, unblinking eyes radiate shock and tension, their expression frozen in a mix of guilt, surprise, and helplessness.

Rendered in stark contrasts and jagged contours, the piece challenges the viewer to consider the weight of being seen—whether by others, or by oneself. No matter how carefully intentions are concealed, there is always a moment where the mask slips.
