About the Item

Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide Ships in a well-protected tube. This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. This vibrant portrait masterfully captures the quiet confidence and contemplative gaze of its subject, a man adorned in a soft yellow beret and matching jacket. The artist, Joshua Salami, has meticulously rendered the textures and hues, creating a harmonious balance between the subject and the backdrop. The subject’s rich, dark complexion is beautifully contrasted by the gentle pastel background, which imbues the scene with a tranquil ambiance. Unique to this artwork is the deft use of color to convey character and emotion. The yellow tones of the beret and jacket not only unify the composition but also evoke a sense of warmth and approachability. This synergy of colors draws the viewer in, inviting contemplation on the underlying narrative of the subject's expression. In the lower-left corner, a delicate cluster of pink and blue flowers subtly introduces a natural element, adding depth and softening the portrait's overall composition. The flowers, with their intricate details and soft tones, suggest a connection to nature, further enriching the piece's emotional spectrum. Detailed and lifelike, from the nuanced play of light on the subject’s skin and beard to the intricate details of the fabric, this artwork stands as a compelling testament to the artist’s skill and keen eye for detail. It transcends mere representation, offering a window into the soul of the subject, and inviting viewers to ponder the stories and experiences that shape his thoughtful gaze. About Artist Joshua Salami is an artist whose passion for creativity in painting has no limit and he is a Nigerian-based contemporary artist. He is a product of The Polytechnic Of Ibadan, where he studied Art Design and Printing Technology holds a diploma in fine art, and has participated in art workshops and art exhibitions. His work is deeply inspired and shaped by his experiences and the people around him, together with people's lifestyles in the world at large.

AT THE BEACH - Modern Women Portrait, Contemporary Figurative Painting
By Marzena Ślusarczyk
Located in Salzburg, AT
The patient waiting for Bresson's “decisive moment” characterizes the pictures of the young Polish painter Marzena Slusarczyk. The compositions of her works have the magic of a successful photography. Often with a powerful neckline, they use expressive foreshortened perspectives and unusual versions and they take us into an intimate dimension of the women portrayed. However, Slusarczyk's pictures are mainly emotions captured on canvas, and this is what makes her works so special. The women she paints perform normal, banal activities in everyday life. But they are the key to reading the feelings of the female figures lost in thought. The lack of clarity in the artist's pictures allows the viewer to make their own interpretations.
