A Promise kept

In *A Promise Kept*, two women pass each other on an old stairway, suspended between arrival and departure, past and future. The acrylic piece (40 x 65 x 2 cm) channels emotive abstraction, using soft yet deliberate brushstrokes to evoke an atmosphere rich in texture and subdued tones.

The scene is intimate and mysterious, set in an old-style house whose muted palette and worn textures echo stories of lives lived. One woman, descending the stairs, gazes downward, her expression calm yet tinged with introspection, as though she’s just fulfilled a quiet promise. The other, ascending, looks upward with quiet anticipation, perhaps moving toward something known only to herself.

The composition plays with layers and subtle color shifts, using retro-inspired mood alongside with an partial abstract treatment of the environment. The surface is layered with texture, each brushstroke capturing the weight of the moment and inviting the viewer into the quiet connection shared in passing. This scene is a delicate dance of solitude and companionship, both women bound by something deeply felt yet unspoken, leaving the viewer to contemplate the story of the promise they share.
