What Beauty Promises. What It hides.
Tereza Barnard paints the quiet pressure beneath performance.
From the composure of beauty queens to still lifes caught mid-misdemeanor,
her realism lingers on the edge of collapse.
Every painting starts in control.
Every painting leaves room for something to slip through.
Humour, discomfort, a smirk in the silverware.
For collectors who know beauty isn’t the whole story.
