In the Grip of Emotion

This evocative work captures the tension between inner turmoil and outward composure. A single face emerges from a storm of color—half rendered in striking realism, the other half consumed by expressive abstraction. 
The gaze is direct, almost confrontational, inviting viewers to witness vulnerability without disguise. The abstract elements don’t obscure the subject—they amplify it, suggesting that emotion is not a distortion but a truth in motion. In the Grip of Emotion is a visual meditation on identity, feeling, and the beauty found in emotional complexity.
