A young woman stares out with wide, wounded blue eyes, her pale face emerging from a warm haze of rust, ochre and smoky grey. Pavel Filin builds the features with loose, loaded brushwork, then draws a fine line across her mouth ending in what reads like a small pendant or seed pod, hinting at a thought held back. This original oil painting balances tenderness and unease, a quietly haunting portrait available now at Art Gallery Teplice.
