A woman gazes past a clear glass sphere held between her fingertips, her expression caught between reverie and quiet resolve. A jeweled cross floats above her brow like a halo, echoed by the deep blue and gold that flank her in this original oil painting by Pavel Filin. The loose, gestural brushwork and drips of pink and violet give the skin a living warmth against the cooler ground. This contemplative portrait is available now at Art Gallery Teplice.
