Original artwork description:

In “Reflection of the Soul”, Nihad Aghazada brings together elements of feminine elegance and quiet strength, merging cultural inspirations into one striking portrait. The figure, gracefully posed and adorned in a richly textured garment, evokes a sense of both intimacy and power.
The painting draws from multiple influences — the vivid palette reminiscent of Spanish colorism, and the flowing, patterned garment nodding subtly to traditional Japanese kimonos. This fusion creates a unique atmosphere: bold yet delicate, expressive yet refined.
Executed in oil on canvas, the brushstrokes vary between smooth facial detailing and dynamic, impasto-like textures in the fabric. This contrast highlights both the serenity of the subject and the energy of the surrounding composition. The result is a portrait that feels alive — as if the viewer is not just looking at a figure, but into a presence.
“Reflection of the Soul” is an homage to cultural beauty, feminine complexity, and the quiet confidence that comes from within.
