Stare

Acrylic Paint on Stretched Canvas, 16 × 20 in
This bold, electric portrait captures a wide-eyed feline frozen in a moment of heightened awareness—somewhere between curiosity, surprise, and quiet defiance. The cat’s hypnotic, concentric eyes pull the viewer inward, vibrating with turquoise, magenta, and deep violet rings that suggest motion, energy, and inner life. Thick, expressive strokes and scratch-like markings build the fur, creating a tactile surface that feels alive and restless.
Set against a saturated yellow background, the figure explodes forward from the canvas, outlined in confident, almost graffiti-like lines. The contrast between the playful palette and the intense gaze creates tension—both humorous and slightly unsettling—inviting viewers to linger and interpret the emotion for themselves.
This piece blends street-art sensibility with pop surrealism, balancing whimsy and edge. It’s a statement work that brings color, personality, and attitude into any space, embodying a signature style that is unapologetically expressive and impossible to ignore.
