Eyes Open

She looks directly at the viewer — not with challenge, but with invitation. Her eyes are clear, her expression steady, her skin luminous with layers of ochre, azure, and rose. Behind her, colour explodes outward: splashes of cobalt, crimson, and gold that feel less like background and more like aura. The artist doesn’t hide her behind abstraction; they elevate her through it — proving that identity is not diminished by vibrancy, but amplified by it. You can almost meet her gaze, feel the quiet strength in her stillness, taste the authenticity in her presence. A painting for women, for leaders, and for anyone who believes true power lies in being seen — and choosing to see back.
