Let's Stay in Bed
This painting is about indulgence—of the senses, of closeness, of the human form entangled without apology. I painted it during a time when I was exploring softness in the midst of chaos. There’s intimacy here, but also power. These women aren’t passive—they’re connected, electric, intertwined in a way that suggests both comfort and charge. It made me feel alive to paint this—like I was honoring touch itself.
The palette is warm and saturated—burnt oranges, rose pinks, and earthy reds pop against the stark black background, creating a sense of spotlighted drama. The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, giving weight and sensuality to the bodies. Everything flows—limbs, hair, desire—yet the composition is grounded in classical triangular harmony. The piece is bold, unapologetic, and deeply human.
