At-Tension
Aquarelle & Acrylic on Cotton Paper 250gsm
59x84cm, 2024
In At-tention, I explore the nuances of visibility, vulnerability, and the subtle tension that comes with being observed. My paintings, created with delicate layers of watercolor and bold acrylic accents, depict faces suspended in an in-between space—often with eyes closed or hidden in darkness. This absence of direct gaze invites viewers to look deeper and sense an invisible inner world.
The title At-tention plays with the word "attention" and reveals a duality: we not only give attention but are often also at tension—held in tension by it. Being observed brings not only presence but also a certain pressure—the constant readiness to either reveal oneself or protect oneself, a tension between connection and the desire for privacy. The figures in my works exist in this suspended state, between openness and the urge to preserve what is personal, akin to the psychological tension we feel under the gaze of others.
Through the interplay of color, shadow, and form, At-tention reflects the hidden inner life that pulses beneath the surface when we are seen. The closed or veiled eyes of the figures suggest stillness, even as they preserve something deeply personal. They remind us that in a world shaped by observation, some aspects of ourselves belong only to us. At-tention thus refers to the boundaries of perception, the complexity of consciousness, and the ongoing interplay between visibility and concealment.
