Confidence

Acrylic, golden leaf and silver leaf on canvas, 2025

•• 70x100x2 cm
•• 27.6x39.4x0.8 in

A figurative textured painting in black, layered with gold and silver leaf, reflecting on the idea of balance — within personal space and social environments alike.

It explores the quiet space between opposites: how, in every polarized view, there exists a third layer — subtle, complex, and often overlooked. Though this middle ground may hold the most reason, it’s frequently dismissed because it resists easy definition.

Is having no defined stance truly wrong? Does neutrality mean complicity, or can it be an act of courage — a refusal to be reduced to extremes?

This work questions the need to choose sides in a world that thrives on duality, and honors the strength it takes to remain ambiguous, reflective, and whole.
