Stay at home Oil

A powerful reflection of the isolation and uncertainty of lockdown life. The figure, half in shadow and half illuminated, embodies the tension between safety and confinement — a reminder of both protection and loneliness within the home. Rendered in deep blues, the composition conveys stillness and melancholy, while the stark red text painted across the surface demands urgent attention, echoing the public health messages that defined a global crisis.
The work captures not only the physical act of staying indoors but also the psychological impact of being enclosed with one’s thoughts. The contemplative pose of the figure suggests fatigue, boredom, and quiet resilience, inviting the viewer to revisit their own experience of that period. At once intimate and universal, the painting becomes a visual document of a shared moment in history, blending personal expression with collective memory.
