Grandmother

This painting depicts the artist’s grandmother resting on her bed, captured in a diagonal composition that conveys both intimacy and quiet tension. The color palette draws from Impressionism, with nuanced, vivid tones, while the expressive exaggeration of form and shape evokes an emotional intensity reminiscent of Expressionism. The hands are rendered with deliberate abruptness, and the body’s contours are subtly distorted, emphasizing the psychological presence of the subject. The work balances observation and interpretation, blending realism with expressive abstraction to explore memory, emotion, and the passage of time.
