A4 print and a 30x40cm white mount.
This painting presents a haunting, atmospheric portrait rendered in deep, moody blues. The figure’s face emerges from a textured background as though carved out of shadow and frost, giving the entire piece a dreamlike, almost underwater quality. The artist uses strong contrasts of light and dark particularly around the eyes, nose, and lips to shape a delicate but expressive face.
The eyes are especially magnetic: reflective, slightly luminous, and directed outward in a way that feels searching or contemplative. Soft highlights along the cheekbones and forehead catch the light like moonshine on water, while the darker tones sculpt the shadows with a sense of quiet intensity. The textured layers behind and around the figure add depth, almost like swirling thoughts or currents surrounding the subject.
Although the figure is realistic in form, the blue palette pushes the work into the realm of emotion rather than strict representation. The painting feels introspective and melancholic, as if the person is suspended between worlds part presence, part memory. It’s a portrait not just of a face but of a state of mind.
