Pedestal” captures the magnetic pull of admiration and infatuation—those moments when you find yourself drawn to someone almost inexplicably, placing them on a pedestal despite knowing so little about them. This piece explores the beauty and complexity of that intrinsic connection, where admiration intertwines with mystery, and the pull feels almost otherworldly.

Through vibrant colours, delicate linework, and glowing accents, “Pedestal” conveys the tension between longing and idealization. The tender embrace and dreamlike composition invite the viewer to reflect on their own experiences of admiration and the stories we create about those who captivate us.

Unframed for versatility and style, this painting is perfect for those who treasure art that explores the nuances of connection, longing, and the stories we weave about love.
