Luke in oils

Luke’s gentle aura transcends the traditional archetype of a teenage boy. Unaware of the power he holds, Luke is captured in a series of unassuming and awkward poses. Timid and shy, he is cautious before allowing others in. As the only man in the house, Luke enters each space with grace, compassion, and attentiveness. Reflective of the strong feminine environment he was brought up in, he unknowingly redefines societal masculinity standards, presenting himself to the world in a truly cherished and unique way. Captured in a soft feminine coded palette, the series of oil paintings create a platform for Luke to share his generous and courageous heart with each viewer.
