"Italian Weekdays" (2026)Oil painting by Nina Grigel

Series «PEOPLE»: This is a unique perspective on human nature and perception. These artworks distort proportions and forms, giving the characters a surreal appearance that evokes a sense of strangeness and curiosity.
Each painting explores the theme of individuality and identity, demonstrating how environment and perception can shape our understanding of ourselves and others. The distortions create an effect of emotional depth, prompting viewers to reflect on how the diversity of human experiences can be both beautiful and unsettling.
This series invites contemplation on how we see the world and how we are seen by others, highlighting the fragility and multifaceted nature of the human essence.
