Original artwork description:

“Lia” is a powerful expressive portrait painted with acrylic on a 100 × 100 × 4.5 cm canvas. Created by carographic (Carolyn Mielke), this artwork captures the raw, dynamic energy of human emotion through bold gestures, layered textures, and fluid abstract forms.

Rich strokes of deep blue, earthy umber, olive green, and warm neutrals weave together to form a face emerging from a storm of motion. The portrait appears almost windswept—alive with rhythm, movement, and tension. Layers of paint overlap in vibrant, intuitive patterns, giving Lia an intense presence and a sense of inner turbulence.

The figure’s gaze is striking and introspective, inviting viewers to step closer and experience the emotional depth within the swirling color fields. Light plays beautifully across the textured surface, revealing new details with each viewing.

With its dynamic composition and contemporary abstract-figurative style, “Lia” stands as a dramatic centerpiece for modern and luxurious interiors. It embodies the expressive, intuitive signature of the carographic style—unique, emotional, and unmistakably alive.
