“Déjà vu” is an oil painting on canvas, created using layered brushwork and a warm, muted palette. The surface carries both softness and tension, with subtle texture in the veil and fabric contrasting the hardness of the metal chain. The work is unframed but ready to hang, and painted with archival-quality oils on stretched cotton canvas.
The piece was inspired by a public moment in modern media where a woman’s exposure was directed, staged, and consumed — all under the gaze of a silent crowd. We don’t know whether the moment was voluntary or not, but its ambiguity became the emotional core of the painting.
In Déjà vu, a blindfolded bride stands chained to her partner. His hands, gloved and composed, contrast with her openness and physical vulnerability. At their feet lie money — the unsaid motive — while faceless witnesses observe in silence.
I want the viewer to feel conflicted. To wonder about what they see, and what they choose not to question. The style is symbolic, theatrical, and emotionally charged — grounded in figurative tradition but pushing toward conceptual critique.
This work asks: Is this a ritual of love? Or submission? And how many times have we seen it before?
