A young woman shields her eyes against bright light, her raised hand and steady gaze giving the scene a quiet, searching mood. Pavel Filin builds the figure with thick, loaded brushstrokes and a warm palette of pinks, reds and blues set against a soft green ground, letting the face emerge from loose, almost abstract passages. This original oil painting shows his confident, textural handling of paint at its best, and can be viewed at Art Gallery Teplice.
