About this artwork
Call Waiting is part of my Rogues’ Gallery series, exploring the moments of anticipation, uncertainty, and quiet reflection that punctuate everyday life. Centered around the familiar image of a telephone, the painting captures the emotional space between expectation and response—when a single conversation has the power to change the course of an evening.
The figures are not portraits of specific individuals but composite characters drawn from years… of observation, travel, and imagination. Through expressive linework, simplified forms, and bold color, I seek to capture emotional presence rather than literal likeness, inviting viewers to imagine the story unfolding before and after the call.
