Mid-Convo

This oil on paper painting, "Mid-convo," offers a glimpse into a moment of interaction between a young boy and a woman. The boy, standing atop a bench, appears to be engaged in an earnest conversation, his hands gesturing animatedly as he pulls at his jumper, suggesting a touch of shyness. The woman, seated on the same bench, leans in attentively, her expression one of patient attention.

In the foreground, a glass rests on a dining room table, its presence adding a sense of domesticity to the scene. The placement of the bench and the figures creates a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the private exchange unfolding before them. Alvira's use of light and shadow further enhances the emotional resonance of the work, imbuing the moment with a palpable sense of contemplation and connection.
