Hung Up On You 30x40

“Hung Up On You” captures the emotional tension of waiting—being present and available for someone at a moment’s notice. The figure holds the phone close, suspended in a quiet moment of anticipation, embodying the vulnerability of waiting for a voice on the other end of the line. The piece reflects the feeling of being emotionally on hold, where time slows and attention is fixed on the possibility of connection. Created using black and white acrylic paint, the limited palette emphasizes contrast and mood. By removing color, the work focuses on form, gesture, and expression, allowing the tension of the moment to emerge through light, shadow, and movement. My process is intuitive and expressive, building the image through layered brushstrokes and bold contrasts. The monochromatic palette mirrors the emotional push and pull present in the piece between presence and absence, connection and distance. “Hung Up On You” reflects the fragile space between reaching out and waiting to be reached.
