Original artwork description:

This expressive portrait explores the tension between warm and cool tones through layered acrylic techniques. Built on a bold, opaque underpainting, it balances saturated oranges against deep blues, blending opaque and glazed passages to model the face while preserving the painting’s raw presence. The frontal, symmetrical composition is offset by the asymmetry of color, inviting the viewer to move between two emotional states. This is an original hand-painted work — not a print or reproduction. Minor traces of paint on the back are a natural result of the creative process, emphasizing its authenticity.
