Resting Light (2025) Original Oil Painting by Alexeï Yakurin

Oil portrait painting on stretched canvas.

Selected for exhibition at the XX Salón de Primavera de Valdepeñas, Spain, 2026.

This painting captures a moment of quiet presence and inner balance. The figure, rendered with expressive brushstrokes and a warm, restrained palette, seems suspended between movement and rest. Soft oranges and muted skin tones interact with the light background, creating a sense of openness and air. The relaxed pose and attentive gaze invite the viewer into an intimate, contemplative space, where emotion is suggested rather than declared. The work explores stillness as a form of strength and vulnerability, allowing color and gesture to speak more loudly than detail.
