Original artwork description
This is not simply a portrait.
It is tension.
Breath.
The quiet electricity of closeness.
A close-up portrait rendered in dramatic monochrome, the painting captures a fleeting moment suspended between longing and surrender. The subject’s face, partially veiled by strands of hair and fractured light, dissolves into shadow and touch. Her lips hover against skin, her fingers resting in a gesture that feels both protective and possessive.
The black-and-white palette strips away distraction, allowing texture, contrast, and emotion to speak. Angular brushwork and layered tonal planes create a sense of fragmentation — as if desire itself breaks the image apart and rebuilds it through sensation.
