OUR SIMILAR DIFFERENCES

This piece, from the series “A Small Disturbance in Dreaming”, brings together two figures who seem close yet remain apart—a man seated in quiet reserve and a woman whose profile radiates both strength and fragility. Bold colors and fractured lines create a sense of tension and connection at the same time, as if the artwork itself can’t decide whether the two belong together or apart. A skull at the man’s side adds a haunting reminder of mortality, giving the scene both drama and playfulness. The result is a vivid reflection on how our differences often mirror our similarities, and how connection and distance live side by side in human relationships. At once confrontational and tender, the piece is a visual meditation on duality: love and alienation, identity and otherness, mortality and vitality. It situates itself at the crossroads of movements—expressionist in gesture, surrealist in symbolism, fauvist in palette, and pop in its graphic immediacy—while remaining distinctly contemporary in voice.

10” giclee print available in the online store.
