Sheltered Monument, Softened

Acrylic on canvas

A classical structure emerges through layers of foliage and atmosphere, its grandeur gently veiled by painterly brushstrokes and encroaching green. The work holds a quiet tension between exposure and concealment, transforming architecture into a stand-in for the body—present, guarded, and intimate. Muted light and softened edges invite a contemplative gaze, where anonymity becomes a form of tenderness.
