Pochis Bank Art Studio

I am a Chicago based visual artist. My work explores human emotions in an honest and unashamed way. In monochromatic, realistic figurative oil paintings, I investigate the energy and ecstasy of relationships along with the often inevitable regret, loss, and loneliness. I paint my subjects in natural candid moments, but as if they are on a stage. Within my paintings, colorful words collide with the monochromatic figures adding a layer of narrative, context, and cultural references. My current series of paintings, My Lisas are about coming of age friendships, beauty, and nostalgia.
