Evening Mirage (2026) Original Oil Painting by Victor Sheleg

This painting by Viktor Sheleg presents a striking portrait of a woman, her face partially hidden beneath a dramatically wide-brimmed hat. Vibrant neon green highlights the hat's edge, contrasting sharply with the deep, muted background. Bold strokes of bright red illuminate her lips, shoulder, and lower body, while textured black gloves embrace her form. Paint drips and splatters add a raw, dynamic energy to the composition, creating a powerful interplay of light and shadow. The work captures a moment of enigmatic grace.

I experiments with complex textures–created through layering various mediums–to encourage curiosity in the viewer about what lies beneath.
