My newest painting, What Are You Lookin' At?, was inspired by a moment I captured last fall while riding the New York City subway on the F train.
As I looked around the car, I noticed that nearly everyone was focused on something in their hands, most often a phone. One passenger, however, was quietly reading a book. That small contrast caught my attention immediately.
The juxtaposition between modern devices and the simple act of reading felt like a small reflection of how our society functions today. We share the same physical space, yet often remain absorbed in our own individual worlds.
As with many of my paintings, there are also a few hidden details woven into the scene. If you look closely, you may find the names of my family and our four cats tucked somewhere within the composition.
Thank you, as always, for following along with my work and for your continued encouragement and support. It means more than you know.
The studio is already full of new ideas, and I look forward to sharing more with you soon.
Warmly,
Bithia
