About the artwork

This painting depicts an elderly woman, her gaze downcast, lost in thought. The deep purple tones and powerful brushstrokes give the work a mystical, subdued atmosphere. The play of light on her face and the simple earring emphasise her inner strength and life experience. This work exudes calm, wisdom and quiet emotion. It gives a cool but comforting feeling, as if you are invited to sympathise with her reflection. Perfect for interiors where depth and serenity are desired. Ideal for lovers of culture, understated expression or people who find beauty in stillness and character. This painting adds a touch of mysticism and contemplation to any space, for those who value stories behind faces.

People have always intrigued me in all their diversity, strength and vulnerability. My travels to countries like Africa, Bali, Australia, Dubai and Nepal, among others, have also left a lasting impression. Every face I create carries something from that journey: a memory, an emotion, a story. Encounters with other cultures and customs have broadened my outlook and enriched my heart. Those experiences are the source of inspiration for this portrait, and for all the others.

The basis of this work was created using Artificial Intelligence (AI), which acted as a digital sketch assistant. The painting was brought to life with thick layers of acrylic paint, so that the portrait really seems to jump off the canvas.
