This semi-abstract portrait shows a woman with her eyes closed, lost in thought. Created with layers of palette knife marks, the painting combines blues, greys, reds and oranges to create a balance between calm and energy.
The fragmented surface reflects the complexity of our inner lives, with each layer contributing to the overall image. Cooler tones suggest reflection and stillness, while warmer colours bring a sense of emotion and vitality.
The red forms across the figure's forehead act as a focal point, representing the memories, experiences and influences that shape who we are.
