Original artwork description:

"Hesitation" is an original oil painting that captures a fleeting moment of inner conflict and quiet vulnerability. The subject’s intense gaze and poised hand suggest a deep, unspoken dialogue — as if caught between action and reflection.

Painted in rich, textured layers of oil on canvas, the composition is dominated by striking contrasts: the vivid crimson of the subject's sweater against the shadowy backdrop, the softness of skin against the weight of emotion. Every brushstroke adds to the psychological depth, drawing the viewer into her intimate moment of doubt.

This piece invites contemplation — not just of the subject’s expression, but of our own moments of uncertainty. A tribute to the silent strength found in hesitation.
