About the artwork

In this work, we encounter the face of a young woman in immediate directness: frontally aligned, with clear, light blue eyes that gaze at the viewer unblinkingly. The gaze is firm, concentrated and at the same time characterised by a quiet intensity - it penetrates the picture surface and opens up an immediate dialogue.

The painting technique makes a decisive contribution to this effect. An impasto application of colour, applied in dense layers and with spatula structures, lends the surface a plastic, almost sculptural quality. The face does not appear smooth or closed, but as if composed of different coloured fragments. Each colour surface looks like an independent fragment, which nevertheless creates a multi-layered image of identity when combined.

The background is completely covered by the face. There is no space beyond the face, no external landscape, no vanishing point. The entire pictorial field becomes the presence of the portrait, so that foreground and background merge indistinguishably into one another. This complete superimposition increases the immediacy of the depiction - the face itself becomes a stage, a landscape, a mirror.

The work thus unfolds a strong tension between clarity and enigma, between fragmentation and unity. The woman's gaze draws the viewer in, while the impasto, relief-like painting style simultaneously creates distance. A picture that does not so much depict as visualise identity in layers and traces - multifaceted, sensual and with a haunting presence.
