Sleepless presents an intimate close-up of a face partially concealed by a butterfly-shaped mask, rendered in soft blue tones that evoke a dreamlike atmosphere. Liljeström’s airbrushed technique blurs the boundaries of the image, creating a smooth, almost otherworldly effect. This small-scale painting is cropped to remove any context, transforming a face paint tutorial into an abstracted exploration of human emotion and vulnerability. The fine details of the mask and the face beneath it are rendered with a delicate touch, emphasizing the ethereal quality of the scene. Sleepless reflects Liljeström’s process of turning specific, identifiable references into something more universal and ambiguous, inviting viewers to project their interpretations onto the enigmatic image.
