Rainbow Gaze (2018) Original Oil Painting by Tetiana Surshko

60 x 80 x 2cm (unframed) / 60 x 80cm (actual image size)

$1,953.06

Two amber eyes hold your gaze through a curtain of dark hair, and the face between them is painted not in skin tones but in pure colour: patches of yellow, scarlet, emerald and cobalt laid side by side like light through a prism. Rainbow Gaze is a large expressionist portrait with a pop art edge, where the hair falls across the face in long black strands streaked with blue and violet, and the mouth, in glossy red, is the one place the colour settles into something almost real.

The painting belongs to my series She Is the Muse, a group of portraits of imagined women in which colour stands in for character. This one is about directness. Nothing in the pose is soft or turned away, the eyes meet yours straight on, and the wild hair only makes the stillness of the look stronger. It is a face that seems to know exactly what it wants.

The canvas measures 60 x 80 cm (about 23.6 x 31.5 inches) in portrait format, large enough to dominate a wall on its own. It is made for a living room, a hallway, a studio or a creative office that wants one strong, colourful focal point, and it looks especially good on a white, grey or black wall where the yellow face comes forward.

It is painted in oil on stretched cotton canvas. The face is built from short, flat, confident strokes of unmixed colour, the hair from long sweeping lines with fine coloured highlights, and the eyes and lips are finished with careful detail so they hold the whole composition together. The painting is signed, varnished for protection, and the sides are painted, so it is ready to hang with no frame needed.

It ships stretched on its wooden bars in a sturdy protective box, never rolled, by tracked and insured courier from Lisbon, Portugal, usually within 3 to 5 working days. Keep it out of direct sunlight and dust gently with a soft dry cloth. If you would like extra photos, a close-up of the eyes or a view in a room setting, send me a message and I will be glad to help.
