Alpha B. is the new Alpha Male
Composed of nine paintings, Alpha B. traces the evolution of women, from silence to expression, from constraint to radiance.
Each canvas portrays a woman rooted in a different culture, where fabric and invented letters become symbols of transformation. What first appears as a restraint gradually turns into an element of grace, revealing the strength and individuality of each figure.
Inspired by alphabets from around the world, the symbols echo women’s voices once hidden, now steadily taking shape.

01
Veiled Bloom
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
The woman’s face is masked by a flowing fabric that hides the world, without covering her body. She hears, smells, senses, guesses, but sees nothing. Reality escapes her, like an unreachable truth hidden behind this barrier of cloth.
02
Inner Refuge
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
The woman is seated, nude, in a posture that is both relaxed and alert. Her body surrenders gently beneath a drape, but her gaze, though veiled, betrays discomfort and introspection. It’s a silent struggle between unveiling and modesty, between freedom and the attachment to what surrounds and protects her.
03
Hidden Thrill
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
The woman is caught in a moment of fragile imbalance. Her gaze is lowered and fleeting, yet there’s gentleness in her expression. The fabric covering her lower body seems about to slip away.
04
Silken Chains
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
The woman in Silken Chains is partially covered by fabric that binds her. There is a delicate tension in her gesture, an almost imperceptible hesitation between covering and freeing herself. She stands on the edge between modesty and sensuality, in a fragile balance that could tip at any moment.
05
Sensual Awakening
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
Sensual Awakening captures the essence of the female body with softness.The absence of a face invites focus on the language of gestures. One hand instinctively covers the breast, while the other suggests unveiling and acceptance. The woman doesn’t fully reveal herself — she reclaims herself.
06
Burning Ember
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
In Burning Ember, the woman appears bold, proud, and confident. The cigarette rests between her lips with calmness. She embraces it fully, as a symbol of freedom. Her gaze is piercing, almost defiant. Her hand reaches toward a floating symbol, as if seizing a long-silenced language. In this gesture, she becomes the bearer of a message.
07
Imperial Aura
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
The woman’s pose exudes royalty, like a queen seated on a throne of silk. She doesn’t seek to please or to hide — she is her own master. The symbol beneath her is her base, her support. She transforms language into a space that belongs only to her.
08
Suspended Whisper
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
In Suspended Whisper, the woman merges with the drape, embracing it, turning it into an extension of her own body. Her gaze is lifted, her expression powerful. Around her, symbols swirl like suspended thoughts, a discourse she is shaping. Ancient and modern voices, echoes from around the world, whispers etched into space.
09
If you know you know
30x40 - oil on canvas
Sold out
If you know, you know is the final painting in the collection. Everything seems to converge toward a single point: her. She doesn’t fall, she rises. Her arms wrap around her body in a protective, intimate gesture, but her gaze is steady.
She knows. She doesn’t need to explain or justify herself. The phrase If you know, you know floats around her like an ancestral truth. This woman, fully in her own power, brings the series to a close: She no longer asks permission to exist — she claims her space and lets her message speak for itself.
