Mujeres is a series of studies of women captured during intimate moments of quiet introspection. These women are not objects of desire but are women moving through the everyday rituals of washing their hair, dressing or undressing. Spread across the canvas are the forms of women unafraid of their nakedness. Their bodies are caught in the stillness of moments of metamorphosis – when they heal, nurture, rebuild and get ready to face another day.

 

The muted palette and the unfinished quality of these studies are designed to lend an air of fragility and fortitude, of women trapped in their bare skin. Within the constraint of the canvas, their forms spread and their gaze turns inward, unconcerned with their audience. The viewers eyes may wander, linger upon a lock of hair or voluptuous curve, yet these women remain unmoved, secure in the stillness and simplicity of their moment.
