Title: Ice Princess
Size: 9” x 12”
Medium: Mixed media on hot press water color paper
A softly emerging face rests within a weathered, atmospheric field of ash, and smoke-gray tones. The figure appears both present and dissolving, as if formed from memory rather than flesh. Dark, contemplative eyes hover in shadow, grounding the composition with a sense of inward stillness and emotional weight. Above the head, a crown-like arrangement of small, luminous white blossoms floats loosely, rendered with textured, impasto-like marks that contrast against the sketchy, gestural lines beneath. These blooms feel symbolic—fragile yet defiant—suggesting resilience, reverence, or quiet sovereignty. Additional flowers drift near the cheek, reinforcing a theme of growth emerging from vulnerability. The surface is richly layered, with stains, washes, and graphite-like markings creating a tactile, timeworn quality. Overall, the piece evokes introspection and quiet strength, blurring the boundary between portrait and apparition, inviting the viewer into a contemplative, almost sacred space.
