This painting is one of my abstract interpretations of the world-famous "Girl with the Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer.
You can also find the second version in my online gallery.
Inspired by the timeless beauty of the original portrait, I have captured the girl in an updated, abstract style. The recognisable elements are retained, but the abstraction makes the work a tribute to mood and emotion rather than details. Coarse brushstrokes and a subtle palette respect the powerful simplicity of Vermeer's work, while adding a contemporary twist to the composition. This painting invites the viewer to see and feel the classic masterpiece through a new lens, bringing both the intensity of the gaze and the mystique of the pearl to life in a fresh way.
