About the Item
This captivating oil portrait presents the head of an African-American woman set against a green background. Her gaze is steady and introspective, eyes deep with emotion and quiet strength. The artist has rendered her natural hair with expressive brushstrokes, giving it texture and presence. Her skin glows with warm, earthy tones, and subtle highlights on her cheekbones and forehead reveal the care given to light and form. The green backdrop, both vivid and serene, creates a striking contrast that draws focus entirely to her features—full lips, poised expression, and thoughtful eyes. Though minimalist in composition, the portrait is powerful in its intimacy, celebrating individuality and silent resilience. It invites contemplation and commands attention through its simplicity and grace.

majoring in painting. She worked at the Dukley Art Residence by European Art Community and Dukley Summer School in Montenegro in 2015 and 2016.
