Golden smoke (2026) Original Oil Painting by Doriana Radu

Golden Smoke is a bold and expressive contemporary portrait exploring attitude, confidence and a sense of quiet rebellion.

A woman with long pale hair looks directly at the viewer through oversized golden-tinted glasses, a cigarette resting between her lips. Her relaxed expression and unapologetic pose create a feeling of self-confidence and independence.

The painting is built around strong contrasts: warm oranges, pinks and reds against an intense turquoise background. The loose brushwork, visible layers of paint and spontaneous marks give the work an energetic, contemporary character, while the exaggerated features and graphic outlines add a subtle pop-art influence.

The cigarette and tinted glasses become part of the character's visual language — suggesting a moment of attitude, introspection and detachment. Rather than aiming for photographic realism, the painting uses colour, expressive brushwork and stylised forms to create a striking emotional presence.

A vibrant statement piece for a contemporary interior and for collectors drawn to expressive figurative portraiture.
