Luminous Repose

Bathed in an ethereal glow, Luminous Repose captures the intimate stillness of a body suspended between sleep and wakefulness. The soft pastel strokes radiate warmth, with golden yellows, deep blues, and fiery reds sculpting the contours of the reclining figure. Against the abyss of black cotton paper, the form dissolves and emerges, an interplay of light and shadow that mirrors the delicate boundary between dreams and reality. This piece embodies serenity and surrender, a visual meditation on the body's capacity for rest and renewal. The model's presence is both tangible and ephemeral, inviting the viewer to step into a moment of deep tranquility.
