Breakfast (Dining in Abstraction)

A cubist figure, constructed from crisp planes of cobalt and rose, sits suspended between appetite and contemplation, raising a glass as though toasting the fragile architecture of everyday ritual. The composition balances hard geometry with a bruised, atmospheric background where smoky greys and star-like flecks suggest a city-night reverie pressing in on the intimate act of dining. Color acts as psychology—cool blues holding the body in restraint while warm reds below pulse like a submerged urgency—turning a simple meal into a meditation on modern isolation and self-possession. The angular face, almost mask-like, reads as both persona and armor, implying that nourishment here is as much emotional as it is physical.
