Cleanse

This portrait gracefully captures a young girl's introspective and meditative state, her closed eyes suggesting a deep sense of tranquility and inner stillness. Influenced by Abstract artists like Barnett Newman and Willem de Kooning, the composition is energized by sweeping brushstrokes, bold hard-edged forms, and expressive bursts of color. These dynamic elements contrast with her serene expression, yet together they evoke a powerful moment of emotional cleansing—a quiet awakening emerging from the chaos.
