About the artwork

This work immediately brings character and warmth to a space. Due to the deep colours and serene appearance, it fits beautifully in a warm, atmospheric interior with earth tones or as a contrasting element in a sleek, modern setting. It appeals to people who love personal stories, strength in subtlety and a work of art that does not shout, but whispers. For those who feel connected to spirituality, inner growth or simply beauty in simplicity, this is a special work with lasting impact.

The colours and posture in this work are inspired by both religious iconography and African portraiture. Despite the rich use of colour, the whole exudes a tranquil tranquility. The soft smile of the model brings an almost tangible serenity to the space. With this work I want to convey the power of inner peace. A reminder that beauty and strength are often most palpable in silence. The portrait tells a story of acceptance, self-love and the moment when you no longer have to prove yourself. The basis of this work was created with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which functioned as a digital sketch assistant. The painting was brought to life with thick layers of acrylic paint, so that the portrait really seems to jump off the canvas.

In this painting you see a young woman with her eyes closed, her face in a soft, calm smile. Her braided hair falls in dark strands over her shoulder, and she wears elegant earrings in warm red tones that subtly sway with her calm posture. The skin is painted in deep, warm colors. It is a play of red, purple and brown and shows a rich texture, as if each brushstroke holds an emotion. The background runs in a dreamy glow of purple and pink tones, making her almost glow against the canvas. What stands out on closer inspection are the subtle reflections of light on her cheek and the almost meditative calm in her posture. It is a snapshot of deep inner peace.
