Silhouette Paintings — Capturing Moments in Shadow

Where Light and Darkness Collide

Silhouettes exist at the intersection of light and shadow, where simplicity meets depth. Their subtle interplay fascinates us, as it sparks our imagination, turning ordinary scenes into enchanting experiences.  As an artist of silhouette paintings, I use bold lines and stark contrasts to capture these moments in shadow. Below, you’ll find my work capturing those contrasting moments on canvas.
