Unique artwork. Canvas created by hand, oil and acrylic painting. Delivered on a frame. 80x80 cm.

In the intimate hush of a nighttime dinner, two figures face each other without truly connecting. An elegant woman, her gaze fixed and restrained, holds her cup as a point of anchorage. Opposite her, a man with a hat, cigarette in hand, seems suspended in a moment of speech or silence.
The scene unfolds in a subtle play of reflections, where the glass becomes an inner mirror: the city sleeps, but thoughts remain awake. Artificial light shapes the bodies, accentuating emotional distance and reinforcing the dramatic tension of the moment.
Inspired by the aesthetics of Edward Hopper, this work revisits the codes of American realism to inject a contemporary narrative. The dialogue seems to take place both in the space and in the mind of the viewer, invited to imagine the before and after of this frozen encounter.

A painting imbued with solitude, elegance, and unspoken feelings, where silence becomes the true subject.
