1. Innocence
Acrylic on canvas – Underpainting stage
This piece was inspired by a childhood photo of mine — a time when life was filled with endless play and the only worry I had was what dessert to choose after dinner. The setting is my childhood room, with the familiar furniture that holds so many memories. Though the painting remains in its underpainting stage, I love how it captures that pure, unfinished sense of innocence that defined those early years of my life.

2. Dreamer
Acrylic on canvas – Stylized portrait
Using diluted acrylics, I focused on blending soft shades across the face to create gentle depth and warmth. The rosy blush and cool blue shadows balance each other, giving the piece an ethereal calm. Dreamer is a stylized portrait of a girl lost in thought — a quiet moment of imagination and escape from reality.

3. Faceless Sylph
Acrylic on canvas – Symbolic figurative work
This artwork portrays a girl lying on a grass field surrounded by flowers and tiny creatures. Strangely, she has no face. Her graceful posture and flowing form evoke innocence and beauty, yet her missing features create an unsettling feeling. Faceless Sylph reflects my belief that a woman’s value should never be reduced to her appearance or men’s ideals of beauty. True allure lies in her spirit, not her face.

4. Home

Mixed media (acrylics & clay) – Conceptual self-portrait with 3D effect
Within the green floral background, a small figure rests peacefully inside the girl’s head — her inner soul. This symbolizes that “home” is not a place, but a state of trust within oneself. She feels safe, loved, and grounded in her own being. The flowers are sculpted with clay to create a 3D effect, giving texture and life to the piece. By blending painting and sculpture, Home embodies comfort, depth, and the beauty of self-connection.
