A Thousand Stories 30 (2026) Original Oil Painting by Alexeï Yakurin

This original oil portrait captures a quiet yet confident presence through bold colour, expressive brushwork, and rich impasto texture. The vibrant red hair becomes the focal point of the composition, contrasting with delicate skin tones and a soft neutral background to create a striking visual balance.

Rather than pursuing photographic realism, the painting explores personality and emotion. Loose, confident brushstrokes and visible palette knife marks celebrate the materiality of oil paint, allowing light to interact with the textured surface and reveal new details from every angle.
