A young woman gazes out with a thoughtful, slightly wary expression, flowers tucked into her dark hair. Pavel Filin builds the face and shoulders with thick, broken strokes of pink, green, and ochre, set against a soft field of teal, grey, and blush that dissolves the background into abstraction. The impasto texture gives this original oil painting a raw immediacy, the color doing as much work as the drawing. A quietly compelling portrait, available now at Art Gallery Teplice.
