“No Face” began simply from wanting to paint. No concept in advance — just an interest in how a body can be suggested with a few tones and gestures, without relying on the face to carry meaning.

Shown in this order, the works trace a quiet progression of poses. Each figure shifts slightly closer, more open, more unguarded, yet still held at a distance by the absence of identity. The sequence isn’t a story, but it hints at one — a movement from invitation to exposure, stopping just before it becomes explicit.

These paintings are small studies in looking, in letting suggestion do the work, and in allowing something to exist without needing to resolve it fully.
