Oil on Canvas
12” x 16”
Insprired by the emotional depth of Renaissance portraiture, Hiding draws the viewer in - only to leave them suspended in mystery. The figure is posed, formed, almost finished… but the face is absent. Not forgotten, but deliberately withheld. The artist once intended to complete it, yet in time realized: some feelings are meant to remain unseen. The missing face becomes the message - an act of resistance, of protection. “I don't want to show you what I feel,” the painting seems to whisper. In its vulnerability and restraint, Hiding becomes a portrait of emotional self-preservation - a powerful reminder that not all truths need to be revealed to be felt.
