La Rêveuse sits in that suspended moment between presence and drift — where the figure feels both anchored and dissolving into the surface.

I used mixed media to construct the surface — scraping, building, erasing, reintroducing — allowing the painting to carry its own history. The texture is not decorative; it actively shapes the figure, pushing and resisting its clarity. Certain areas are held in control, while others are allowed to break, blur, or dissolve into abstraction. This creates a sense of movement and instability — a quiet suspension where the image is still forming.

My creative process is about pushing boundaries: how far the structure of realism can hold while being challenged by material, colour, and gesture. The result is a portrait that exists in dialogue with its ground — not placed onto it, but emerging from it.
