Astral Bloom — Oil Pastel Female eye (2026) Original Oil Painting by Helga Wild

The original oil pastel painting featuring a close-up feminine portrait intertwined with luminous flower petals and a softly closed eye. Created in a contemporary neo-expressionist style, the artwork combines the emotional presence of figurative portraiture with the flowing organic forms of botanical art.

Rich layers of electric blue, magenta, violet, turquoise, orange and yellow create a vibrant composition filled with movement, texture and glowing colour. Dramatic black eyelashes and a strong curved eyebrow contrast with the softer floral shapes, giving the portrait a mysterious, meditative and emotionally intense quality.

The expressive oil pastel marks remain visible throughout the surface, adding depth and a tactile, handmade character. The woman’s closed eye suggests introspection, intuition and a private inner world, while the surrounding petals appear to grow from and merge with her face.
Please Note: the original artwork is a small-format oil pastel piece with a softer, more muted color palette in person. Fine art prints are also available in larger sizes and in a more vibrant color-enhanced version, created to bring out the bold blues, pinks, violets, and golden tones of the image while preserving the spirit of the original artwork.
