Beauty and the Priest

40.2 by 30 inches (102 by 76 cm)

“Beauty and the Priest” presents a striking dialogue between innocence and authority, tenderness and restraint. Through its bold composition and thoughtful contrasts, the piece examines the tension between two archetypes—though they look identical—one embodies grace and vulnerability, the other power and discipline. Layers of color, texture, and form suggest a complex relationship that feels both intimate and distant, inviting viewers to consider the quiet negotiations of control, devotion, and admiration that often shape human connection. This work holds space for contemplation, leaving its meaning open yet resonant.
