Inspiration & Symbolism

Sometimes we close our eyes to protect ourselves.
Sometimes because the light is too strong.
And sometimes, in order to see more clearly within.

“I Don’t See” exists precisely in this space of ambiguity — without imposing an answer and without directing the viewer. The painting invites reflection, a pause, a moment in which attention gently withdraws from the outside world.

The image does not speak of refusal, but of choice. Closing the eyes here can be an act of protection, inner focus, or awareness — a quiet form of presence.

The warm palette — tones of red, brown, and white — creates a sense of balance and intimacy. The accent of red lips introduces vitality and strength, without disturbing the stillness of the composition. Light does not reveal; it envelops, turning the image into a space for contemplation.

“I Don’t See” is not a painting about blindness.
It is a painting about the moment when the eyes close, allowing space for thought, sensation, and a renewed way of seeing.
