Original artwork description:

Oil on wood 20x30x2cm (7.9x11.8x0.8in) 2019.

Indian girl is an oil on wood artwork which I painted while I was experimenting a different way of priming wood surfaces. I was looking for a colourful image to paint and I came across this picture shot by a friend of mine when she was travelling around India. I suddenly decided that it was perfect for the wood panel I was about to paint. This is the case when a picture remains in the artist’s sketch-folder for years until it gets its destination. I’m particularly happy with the result of the painting sessions as it is bright and colourful. The slightly faded background contributes in letting the face of the girl stand out. The gestural painting technique makes the Indian girl move like if she is real.

This oil on wood painting is a 20x30cm wood panel, hand primed and painted with top quality oil colours. I suggest to have it framed with a quite thick frame, to underline the personality of the artwork.
