Rochelle (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Donna Ceraulo

Contemporary portrait - In this portrait, I explored stillness, presence, and quiet emotional depth through a simplified figure surrounded by luminous layers of turquoise, teal, and soft ochre. The direct gaze creates an immediate connection, while the subtle shifts in color and translucent brushwork allow the image to feel both real and dreamlike. I built the painting intuitively, layering acrylics and soft pastels to create atmosphere, softness, and a sense of inner reflection. The cool palette brings a calming energy, while the warm undertones add balance and humanity. This piece offers a serene focal point for contemporary interiors and thoughtfully curated collections.

Colors: Aqua, turquoise, blue, greens, golden yellow, rust-red, brown, black, white
