Purple Fever — Oil Pastel Female Lips (2026) Original Oil Painting by Helga Wild

Purple Fever is an original oil pastel painting featuring a dramatic close-up female portrait with oversized glossy violet-pink lips, a softly sculpted nose, flowing abstract hair shapes, and petal-like floral forms. Created in a contemporary pop expressionist and neo-expressionist style, this colorful portrait combines bold layered color, visible pastel texture, luminous highlights, and a tightly cropped composition to create an intimate, emotional, and dreamlike atmosphere. Electric blue, violet, magenta, orange, yellow, pink, and deep shadow tones move across the face like a vivid color storm, giving the artwork a sensual, feminine, expressive, and bold presence. This original oil pastel portrait is ideal for collectors looking for colorful female portrait art, lips portrait painting, modern wall art, dopamine art, floral portrait artwork, expressive contemporary art, and a vibrant statement piece with strong visual impact.
Please Note: the original artwork is a small-format oil pastel piece with a softer, more muted color palette in person. Fine art prints are also available in larger sizes and in a more vibrant color-enhanced version, created to bring out the bold blues, pinks, violets, and golden tones of the image while preserving the spirit of the original artwork.
