About this work
A young woman with a mass of long wavy red hair is shown from the chest up, turned slightly toward the viewer with a steady, direct gaze. She wears a green dress and a dangling turquoise earring visible through strands of hair, her face lit softly against the dark, textured background.
Color is built almost entirely from red-orange, teal and deep blue-green, applied with a palette knife in thick ridges that give the hair and dress a sculptural, almost carved texture. Light falls gently across the face, keeping the features soft while the surrounding color dissolves into abstract streaks. The result feels intense and vividly alive, closer to a color study than a formal likeness.
