Tired nurse

Tired Nurse

Oil on canvas – 60 × 60 cm
Painted entirely with fingers

A moment of stillness. A figure curled inward — exhausted, fragile, and deeply human. Tired Nurse captures the silent fatigue that lives beneath the surface of care.

Created solely with the artist’s fingers, the texture of the oil paint mirrors the raw emotion behind the piece. Thick strokes swirl and press into the canvas like a pulse — the weight of burnout expressed through flesh and color.

The nurse sits folded, her body echoing the shape of a cocoon, or perhaps a shell. Her head glows with a corona of light and scattered petals — a quiet halo of perseverance in the face of emotional wear.

This is a painting about more than tiredness. It’s about invisible weight, the cost of compassion, and the resilience it takes to rise again.
