Lips by Igor Galan is a large-scale exploration of sensuality and visual abstraction through the lens of photorealistic painting. At 160x115 cm, this 2012 oil work captures the intimate gesture of slightly parted lips in exquisite detail. The canvas is awash in pinks and reds, yet the color feels controlled – layered and atmospheric rather than loud. The lips themselves glisten with moisture and light, suspended in a moment of breath, speech, or seduction.
Galan’s unique ability to blur the line between hyperrealism and emotional softness gives Lips its unmistakable allure. The brushwork is nearly invisible, yet the surface feels alive – glowing with the kind of tactile intensity more often seen in photography or digital manipulation. But this is pure oil on canvas, honed by skill and vision.
The painting is sold, but Galan accepts commissions for similarly bold and iconic compositions. Ideal for collectors of large-format realism, erotic minimalism, or emotionally charged contemporary portraiture.
