About the Artwork
Under moonlight, everything becomes quieter.
A lone figure stands in the field—still, distant, and surrounded by the soft light of the stars.
Yet being alone does not always mean being lonely. There is no pain in this stillness, no need to escape it. The figure simply remains, allowing the silence, the night, and the light to settle around it.
Sometimes solitude is not emptiness, but a quiet way of being present—standing alone beneath the stars and finding peace in the moment.

Two artists have profoundly impacted my art: John Singer Sargent and Egon Schiele. Both are portrait artists, yet their styles are remarkably different, shaping the evolution of my own artistic style.
Sargent's incredible use of color and positioning on the canvas captivated me. His portraits are elegant and sophisticated, capturing light and texture beautifully. However, I began to question whether this external elegance truly captured human nature.
In contrast, Schiele’s portraits are more shocking, with darker colors and bolder lines. His style delves into the human psyche, revealing complexities and loneliness. This led me to incorporate more expressive and unconventional elements into my art.
