Afternoon is an early work from my private collection, created during a phase when my style was still rough, intuitive and direct. The woman sits in a deep window recess reminiscent of old homes and historic interiors — a place where light lingers and silence settles. The warm afternoon sun illuminates her gently, creating a cinematic stillness.

The broad, expressive brushstrokes and simplified palette emphasize the unpolished, spontaneous character of the work. Afternoon radiates warmth, calm and emotional presence. After many years in our own space, this personal piece is now being made available to collectors.
