Whispers of Velvet: Children’s Formal Wear in Oil

Whispers of Velvet presents a series of oil paintings focused on children dressed in formal attire, capturing moments suspended between innocence and expectation. The exhibition examines how clothing, posture, and expression shape narratives of identity at a young age.

Soft textures and muted palettes dominate the works, allowing subtle emotional cues to surface. The formality of dress contrasts with the vulnerability of childhood, creating a tension that feels both tender and contemplative.

Through these portraits, the exhibition reflects on memory, tradition, and the symbolic weight of appearance. Each painting becomes a quiet story—suggesting presence, absence, and the passage of time.
