A ballerina rests in profile, her hair pinned up, one hand poised and turned outward as though listening to the quiet before a performance. Pavel Filin builds the pale tulle skirt in thick, restless strokes of pink, lavender and blue, set against a soft turquoise ground broken by a warm brown edge. This original oil painting balances a still, thoughtful mood with lively, tactile brushwork, and is available now at Art Gallery Teplice.
