Original artwork description:

When painting this piece, I sought to capture a moment of gaze—a silent conversation between the observer and art itself. The white statue, bathed in a soft skylight, symbolizes the transcendence of reason and beauty. The woman standing before it, wrapped in the darkness of the gallery, embodies emotion and contemplation. The contrast of light and shadow is not merely visual—it represents the dialogue between the spiritual and the tangible.
I used thick impasto and palette knife strokes to give the statue a cold, marble-like luminosity, while the human figure was rendered with softer transitions, evoking the stillness of time and the warmth of presence.
