Portrait paintings of strangers in the digital age poignantly capture the **loneliness and disconnection** of contemporary life. In an era saturated with online profiles and fleeting digital interactions, these portraits reintroduce the human face as a site of mystery, vulnerability, and quiet distance. The anonymity of the subjects mirrors our own feelings of being seen but not truly known—scrolling through lives without touching them. These works reflect the paradox of hyperconnectivity: a world where we are always online, yet often profoundly alone.
