Original 30x40 cm oil painting – expressive figurative artwork of woman holding a book. Contemporary painting with bold brushstrokes and symbolic narrative – modern wall art

Description:
This original oil painting captures a close-up, expressive view of a woman holding a book, her hands clasped around it. The composition focuses on gesture and detail, with warm skin tones contrasting against the vibrant greens of the skirt. Loose, dynamic brushstrokes and visible texture create movement and depth, while the book introduces a subtle narrative element, suggesting introspection and personal reflection. A contemporary figurative piece that brings character and storytelling into any space.

COLLECTION:
This painting makes part of the collection dedicated to imperfect, invisible women—and their intimate worlds, living unnoticed lives, immersed in the quiet rituals of everyday moments. They are the ones I recognise myself in.

MEDIUM:
Professional grade oil paints on canvas board

Highly safe packaging

Materials used:

Quality Artist oil colours on artistic cardboard
