"Mixed Feelings" #3 Original Painting

👁️ Mixed Feelings #3
Original Watercolor & Ink by Jen Duran

Description:
Mixed Feelings is a haunting meditation on perception, vulnerability, and the many ways we see and are seen. A kaleidoscope of expressive eyes floats across a moody backdrop of layered indigo, slate, and cobalt washes. Each eye, unique in its shape and gaze, emerges from abstract blocks and fluid inkwork—some wide open, others quietly observing, all suspended in a shared field of emotion.

Hints of cream and stark white highlights give the piece a dimensional, almost cinematic tension. The repetition feels rhythmic yet uneasy, like fragmented reflections in a mirror. The hand-painted frame in cool white and navy blue grounds the dreamlike composition, making it feel both intimate and surreal.

Artist Statement:
“This piece came from that emotional in-between space—where your feelings contradict each other, yet they’re all valid. It’s about the complexity of inner dialogue and the weight of being perceived. Each eye represents a layer of me, and maybe of you too.” — Jen Duran
