Duality Mixed-Media Figurative Painting

A ghostly, double-figured portrait rises out of an architectural palimpsest—faces and torsos suspended within blueprint notations as if identity itself were being drafted, measured, and revised. The muted greys and smoke-blues compress the space into a shallow, airless field, while a single red line cuts across like a surveyor’s mark, turning intimacy into inspection. The upper figure, turned inward, feels half-erased by the surrounding diagrams, whereas the lower profile bears a heavier gravity, suggesting the weight of lived experience against systems that label and contain. In this collision of flesh and plan, the work reads as a meditation on how modern life engineers our private selves, leaving tenderness to persist only as a faint, stubborn residue.
