Dramatic

Dramatic, 2022
Acrylic on canvas
24 × 48 in. (61 × 122 cm)

A moment of shock frozen in bold color and fractured forms—Dramatic captures an exaggerated reaction, where perception distorts reality. Three men on the right, their faces rigid with disbelief, are transfixed by the two women on the left, partially censored, as if their presence alone is too much to process. The composition heightens the absurdity of the moment, stretching expressions and obscuring details to emphasize the disconnect between what is seen and what is assumed.

The interplay of geometric blocks and raw outlines mirrors the way society censors, distorts, and overreacts to the natural, turning the mundane into spectacle. The piece is both playful and charged, confronting the theatricality of judgment and the power of perception.
