About this artwork
Messy Bun Acrylic & pastel on stretched canvas 30 × 25 cm Seen from behind, a woman’s head tilts slightly away. Her hair is gathered loosely into a low, imperfect bun—strands escaping, light catching in soft ribbons of brown, gold, and ash. The background is quiet, pale, and spare, allowing the gesture of hair and neck to hold the entire emotional weight of the painting. This work is about intimacy without intrusion. We are close, but not invited all the way in. There is no face, no expression—only the suggestion of a person just beyond reach. The bun is practical, unpolished, human. It speaks of everyday rituals, of mornings and mirrors, of hands moving without thinking. Messy Bun is a portrait of presence through absence. It holds the poetry of the ordinary: the back of a neck, the curve of a shoulder, the quiet beauty of being turned slightly away. A meditation on anonymity, tenderness, and the small details that make us real. Original, one-of-a-kind artwork. Signed by the artist. Unframed.

About the artist
Mixed-media artist. Color lover. Storyteller. Born and raised in South Africa and now living in Cyprus, I hold a degree in Fine Art from the University of the Witwatersrand. I paint in acrylic, pastel, watercolor, pencil, and ink. Canvas and wood often feature but paper is my first love. Working primarily from photos, I often manipulate images digitally to create a new composition and then paint. I’ve exhibited in Cyprus, London, and Athens and my collectors live in countries around the world.
