A young figure in a tall, tapering cap gazes out with a quiet, searching expression, the eyes soft and slightly wary. Pavel Filin builds the face with loose, confident brushwork against a warm ochre and olive ground, while flashes of blue and orange enliven the collar and shoulders. This original oil painting balances intimacy with a hint of restlessness, its palette knife texture catching the light. On view now at Art Gallery Teplice for those who wish to inquire.
