Midnight Call

2025

40 x 60 ″

Acrylic on canvas

A woman in fuchsia satin pajamas sits on the sofa in a pose too deliberate to be casual. Her cold gaze and vintage phone evoke the silent power of a classic movie diva. On either side, two perfectly groomed poodles complete the picture of a meticulously staged life.

The warm lighting, symmetrical props, and dark background transform the living room into a theatrical set straight from the 60s or 70s. There is no spontaneity here—only direction. This piece reimagines Hollywood Regency with a touch of satire and fantasy, portraying femininity as performance and luxury as spectacle.
