The kind of evening that lingers — Don’t wait up
An icy pool,
a chilled martini in hand,
and nowhere else to be.
Don’t Wait Up explores the space between indulgence and stillness—those rare moments when the world falls away and time belongs entirely to you.
Suspended in cool blue water, only a pair of hands emerge from beneath the surface. One holds a perfectly chilled martini, the other a cigarette whose smoke drifts quietly into the evening air. The figure remains unseen, inviting the viewer to imagine the story for themselves.
The composition balances luxury with restraint. Rippling water, soft reflections and the geometric rhythm of the pool tiles create a calm, almost cinematic atmosphere, while the simplicity of the gesture evokes memories of long summer nights, private escapes and the pleasure of doing absolutely nothing.
With its clean lines, nostalgic references and contemporary perspective, Don’t Wait Up celebrates the art of slowing down—a playful reminder that sometimes the best evenings are the ones spent exactly where you are.
Medium: Acrylic on canvas.
