Original artwork description:

This painting captures a moment of quiet presence – a woman in red, standing by the water, facing the horizon. I chose to show her from behind, to preserve her mystery, and to let viewers project their own thoughts and emotions onto her figure. The gesture – hands lifted to the hair, the curve of the back – is simple, yet intimate. There’s no narrative, no action. Just a pause. A moment between thoughts. I wanted to explore the feeling of being completely present in one’s body, surrounded by light, air, and space. The contrast between the saturated red and the soft blues creates a tension between intensity and calm. I used a minimalistic background to emphasize this sense of emotional stillness – where everything unnecessary fades away, and what remains is one clear feeling.
This work speaks about femininity, solitude, and sensory awareness – not in a loud or dramatic way, but in a quiet, honest one.
