Portrait #2 In my cocon

40 x 40 cm
Acrylic, Oil Pastel on Canvas

This evocative artwork captures the duality of identity and self-perception. Rendered in textured shades of gray, the painting is dramatically bisected by a bold red stripe, symbolizing a boundary between inner turmoil and outward expression. The somber tones of the face, contrasted with the striking red lips and the stark line, suggest themes of isolation, vulnerability, and resilience. The abstract yet intimate composition invites viewers to reflect on the hidden layers of the human psyche. Perfect for collectors seeking a thought-provoking piece to enhance a modern or minimalist space.
