Glow up: a conversation turned into a painting

Glow up, acrylic on wood by Doris Waelchli Giraud

Glow up is one of Doris Waelchli Giraud’s most recent works: an acrylic on wood measuring 29 × 35 cm, painted in March 2026.

On the panel, the acrylic runs down in long drips of turquoise, pale pink and yellow towards an orange base. On the right, a rectangle of dark mesh sits within the composition and answers the thickness of the paint.

The painting comes with a sentence taken from a morning conversation between Doris and Satya:

“Through shared speech, man becomes fully human.”
