“Quarantine n°1” was created during the first COVID-19 lockdown, a time of global stillness that became a personal journey for the artist, with art serving as a gateway for expression and
escape. The restrained color palette and intricate textures evoke a sense of being “locked in,” symbolizing how external circumstances shape our inner worlds. The title, “Quarantine n°1,” hints at an ongoing series—an exploration of self during a time when people were forced to stay still and turn inward. This painting invites the viewer to reflect on their own journey and the opportunity to pause, explore deeper feelings, and engage with the complexities of the self.
