Original artwork description
The Gaze is a 50 × 70 cm hyperrealistic acrylic painting capturing a close-up portrait of a wolf in a moment of direct eye contact. The composition is intentionally intimate and vertical, allowing the viewer to encounter the animal face to face.
Set against a deep black background, the wolf emerges from shadow, emphasizing the intensity and clarity of his eyes. Multiple layers of acrylic were carefully applied to build depth, texture, and the natural structure of the fur. The contrast between darkness and light enhances the feeling of presence and quiet strength.
This work explores themes of instinct, awareness, and the silent dialogue between the wild and the observer. The direct gaze invites reflection — it is both calm and powerful, untamed yet composed.
The painting is signed on the front and protected with a final varnish layer.
