Profile in Light (2023)Oil painting
by Liubov Samoilova

Uplift is captured in this striking oil portrait: a young woman gazes upward, her expression bright with resolve and hope. Rich, layered brushwork creates luminous skin tones that shift from warm mahogany to cool highlights, set against a soft neutral background that lets her presence command the frame. The square composition and subtle sheen on the lips draw the eye to the face, making this a powerful centerpiece for modern interiors, galleries, or creative workspaces.

The artist was inspired by the soft interplay of light on skin and the distinctive texture of natural hair, striving to highlight features that are often overlooked yet deeply expressive.

This portrait aims not only to represent an individual, but also to celebrate quiet moments of reflection and natural beauty that unite us.
