Serenity – Colorful Pastel Femaile Portrait (2026) Original Pastel Drawing by Helga Wild

Serenity is an original oil pastel painting inspired by feminine intuition, transformation and the quiet inner world that appears when the outside world falls away.

The artwork depicts a stylized woman in profile with closed eyes, dramatic dark eyelashes and softly parted pink lips. Flowing botanical forms wrap around her face like luminous leaves or petals, creating the impression that the figure and the natural world are becoming one.

Vivid shades of cobalt blue, turquoise, violet, magenta, pink, orange, yellow and green move across the composition in smooth, expressive transitions. The rich oil pastel creates a soft yet tactile surface, with visible texture, layered colour and delicate highlights that change subtly as light falls across the artwork.

The deep blue and purple background contains small star-like details, giving the portrait a dreamy celestial atmosphere. Its combination of a peaceful expression and saturated colour creates a mood that feels meditative, mystical and emotionally powerful.

Influenced by contemporary neo-expressionism and surreal portraiture, this colourful female portrait explores femininity, emotional depth and the connection between personal growth and nature. It would create a vibrant focal point in a bedroom, living room, creative studio or eclectic modern interior.

This one-of-a-kind original artwork is ideal for collectors drawn to feminine portrait art, colourful wall art, botanical paintings, surreal portraits and expressive contemporary art.
