“Surdouée”

This painting explores the tension between brilliance and objectification. The woman, relaxed yet exposed, embodies intelligence and potential. While her eyes are covered and mouth silenced, showing how society often prioritizes beauty over intellect.

She is muted, unseen for her mind, and made vulnerable for the pleasure of others, blind to the power she truly holds. It’s a reflection on the ways women’s potential is often overshadowed by how they are perceived, rather than who they are.
