Description

This artwork presents an enigmatic portrait intertwined with light and shadow. Using a monochrome palette, the artist creates a dramatic effect, where the face partially emerges from the darkness, highlighted by bold, precise brush strokes. The light strikes the face obliquely, accentuating expressive features and creating a strong contrast that immediately draws attention. The masterfully employed chiaroscuro evokes a sense of mystery and introspection, while the black background makes the image even more powerful and introspective. The balance between negative and positive highlights the artist's ability to exploit chromatic simplicity to express emotional complexity. The work stands out for its ability to capture the human essence in a minimalist manner, while maintaining a strong and lasting visual impact.

Presentation

Born in 1968. Artist based in Amsterdam, Netherlands“Since I was a beginning artist I focused on paradoxical themes in my work, which I loved to create in my mind and then put them on the canvas. It changed into something completely opposite- simplicity combined with beauty, after a dramatic event in my life.

I started to deeply resonate with the saying “live every day as it is your last one». In my work I want to express that value of life as an amazing gift and I do my best to make every day count by creating beauty - not only for myself but also for others.  
 

These days, what I paint is largely based on a combination of spots of color.  During the process I sketch that chaotic first layer and the oil paint then dictates me itself what strokes to put on next. I would call my style close to impressionism. I prefer to use a palette knife before the brush because it allows me to be more flexible and free while painting with vivid thick layers. This way I am translating my emotions directly onto the canvas."  Education: Ufa art school (+MS in History of Art)
