''Mae'' (Presence Is Power)
18” x 24'' oil on canvas, custom framed in Lindwood, 2024.
This portrait embodies strength, presence, and the quiet power of a woman who meets the viewer’s gaze with unshakable confidence. The muse—a Black woman with a striking Afro—stands at the center of the composition, her energy both grounding and transformative.
The background lines, rich brown in tone, symbolize heritage—the lives of the women who came before us and the personal timeline of our own existence. They create a seamless connection between the muse and her surroundings, anchoring her in space while allowing her presence to radiate beyond the canvas.
Her energy shifts with the viewer—some find calm in her gaze, while others feel empowered. The uniform color palette ensures she blends effortlessly into any space, allowing her essence to take center stage. This is more than a portrait; it is a reflection, a dialogue, an invitation to see oneself in her unwavering strength.

“Mae” (La Puissance de la Présence)
18” x 24” huile sur canevas, encadrement sur mesure en bois de Tilleul, 2024.
Ce portrait incarne la force, la présence et le pouvoir tranquille d'une femme qui rencontre le regard du spectateur avec une confiance inébranlable. La muse - une femme noire à l'afro frappant - se tient au centre de la composition, son énergie étant à la fois fondatrice et transformatrice.
Les lignes de fond, d'un brun riche, symbolisent l'héritage - la vie des femmes qui nous ont précédées et la chronologie personnelle de notre propre existence. Elles créent une connexion transparente entre la muse et son environnement, l'ancrant dans l'espace tout en permettant à sa présence de rayonner au-delà de la toile.
Son énergie varie en fonction de l'observateur : certains trouvent le calme dans son regard, tandis que d'autres ressentent une poussée d'énergie. La palette de couleurs uniformes lui permet de se fondre sans effort dans n'importe quel espace, laissant son essence prendre le devant de la scène. Plus qu'un portrait, il s'agit d'une réflexion, d'un dialogue, d'une invitation à se reconnaître dans sa force inébranlable.
