A young woman rests her cheek against her hand, her gaze turned quietly toward the viewer with a mix of doubt and expectation. Pavel Filin builds the figure from loose, confident brushwork, letting warm oranges and reds break through the cool teal and sage tones that surround her. This original oil painting balances a soft, pensive mood with vivid patches of color, and the thinly worked background keeps all the attention on her face. Available now at Art Gallery Teplice.
