The practice centres on figurative painting and psychological portraiture, exploring emotional interiority, restraint, and the tension between presence and distance. Faces are treated as constructed spaces rather than likenesses, built through planes of colour, reduction, and deliberate incompleteness.
Earlier explorations of colour, light, and composition informed a sensitivity to structure and intuition, which now translates into a tactile, materially driven painting process. Rather than describing a person, each work holds a suspended internal state. The figures do not perform or explain themselves; they remain observed, unresolved, and open to projection.
Painting is approached as an ongoing dialogue between intention and accident, control and intuition. Interest lies in what is withheld, and in how identity can feel simultaneously present and distant — emerging through restraint rather than expression.

Anna Sheri
The work is an attempt to reach the core of a person beyond narrative. By stripping the figure back to form and emotion, the paintings explore how we sense one another, how meaning is transmitted without words, and how the idea of a soul might exist within the body.
My work investigates the inner structure of a person — not appearance, but essence.
These paintings search for what lies beneath expression.
They examine emotional presence, restraint, and the silent exchange that happens between people — where the soul is felt rather than seen.
