head of a woman (study)
retaken now, June 2025. Framed.
- This portrait plays with the contrast between control and chaos. I started with a more realistic face and then let instinct take over — using bold marks, bright color, and even paint drips to break it apart.
It’s not about destroying the subject, but about interrupting perfection — letting in something more emotional, more urgent. I don’t over-explain it; it’s meant to be felt more than decoded.
materials used:
- oil & acrylic paint
- two coats of protective gloss varnish applied to protect the painting from dust
