It’s a portrait made with simple red strokes on a soft purple background. I wanted to keep the face as reduced as possible, just enough to suggest a person and a feeling.
The red against the purple creates a quiet kind of tension, but the overall feeling stays calm. The face feels steady and present, like a moment of stillness you can sit with for a while.
Medium: Oil Pastel on Paper
