About the artwork

This painting shows a powerful portrait of a woman, captured in warm, earthy tones. Her gaze is calm but penetrating and exudes a certain determination. The coarse brushstrokes in thick oil paint give the work a tactile texture, almost bringing the painting to life. Small details, such as the subtle sheen on the gold earrings and the variation in light and shadow on her skin, make this portrait unique and layered.

The use of colour consists mainly of warm shades of brown, terracotta and gold, which together evoke a sense of warmth and strength. The contrast between the dark and light paint strokes emphasises the expression in her face and adds intensity to the composition. This gives the work an almost sculptural character.

The atmosphere of the painting is both intimate and impressive. It invites one to look, pause and reflect. For some, it evokes memories of encounters with people during journeys; for others, it can be a symbol of strength, beauty or cultural richness.

In an interior, this portrait brings warmth and depth, forming a strong focal point in any room. The work combines modern impressionism with a classical intensity, keeping it timeless.

My love of travel and other cultures inspired me to create this painting using AI. An ode to human beauty and diversity.
