Ember Veil and Sunflowers

A symbolic contemporary work centers on a cloaked, faceless figure rendered in layered gray tones, its bowed form enclosed by sweeping folds and angular, armor-like shapes. A small bright framed opening interrupts the dark hood, while gold flame-like marks rise around the head and shoulders. Sunflowers and blades of grass anchor the lower edge, set against a deep burgundy ground patterned with looping charcoal forms. The contrast between the radiant flowers and the concealed figure gives the composition a solemn, dreamlike presence.
