Untitled Gouache Figurative Painting

This work reads like a stitched memory-map, divided into four vignettes that oscillate between figure, shelter, and terrain, as if the mind is trying to hold several places at once without fully resolving any of them. Warm ochres and sunbaked reds dominate the ground, while intermittent blues and greens open brief windows of cool distance—suggesting respite, water, or sky against a prevailing heat. The simplified forms and patterned surfaces feel deliberately naive, turning palms, rooftops, and hills into symbols rather than descriptions, so the lone figure becomes less a portrait than a stand-in for quiet witnessing. Across the panels, the repeated arcs and rising verticals propose both enclosure and passage, evoking a narrative of movement through familiar landscapes that remain just out of reach, like recollection softened by time.
