Vernix
 
60cm width x 76cm height (24 x 30 inches)
 
Part of the Hidden Chaos collection, Vernix reflects the weight of stories left untold. Built through dense, weathered textures and muddled hues, the painting becomes a surface of purposeful obscurity—where memory has been scraped, buried, and revised. The visual noise suggests voices once raised, now muted; truths distorted by time, fear, or choice. Glimpses of warmth and clarity attempt to break through, yet remain partially veiled, echoing the quiet resistance of those who carry their past in silence. This work speaks not of confession, but of concealment—a meditation on the human instinct to protect oneself by covering the very things that made us.
