About the artwork

In front of me is a digital portrait that combines simplicity and depth in one image. It shows a woman with soft, purple hair and bright green eyes smiling behind round glasses. Her gaze is not just an encounter of lines and colours, but a silent conversation with the viewer. The artist opts for clean contours and flat tones, evoking a certain childlike directness, while the subtle details - the wrinkles, the small shadows around the mouth - hint at a life full of stories.

The palette is limited: purple and violet embrace the portrait, creating an atmosphere of warmth, calm and wisdom. Purple, often associated with spirituality and imagination, here seems to be the bridge between past and future. It is as if the figure is aware of its place in time: rooted in memory, but at the same time looking forward to what is yet to come.

The red lips are a bright accent, a symbol of vitality, individuality and zest for life. Despite the age palpable in her features, there is a joy here that refuses to extinguish. The portrait thus breathes not only softness, but also strength.

The simplicity of the digital style does not detract from the emotional layering. On the contrary: reducing everything to its essence leaves room for interpretation and imagination. This work of art is not just an image of a face, but a mirror of the human soul - fragile, strong and eternally moving.
