Original artwork description:

This textured acrylic painting grew out of my desire to explore the quieter side of human presence. I worked in layers of muted ochres, neutrals, and soft reds to create a portrait that feels contemplative and grounded. The subtle brushstrokes and textures give the figure both vulnerability and strength — qualities I often look for when I paint. To me, this is an emotive abstract painting, a reflection of thought and stillness. I love how it balances simplicity with depth, and I see it as an acrylic portrait on canvas that brings a sense of intimacy and calm to any space.

Colors: Warm grays, beige, russet, deep blue-gray, muted greens, ocher, yellow, black, white
