In gentle confidence, the person portrayed looks with a soft, open gaze that simultaneously radiates calm and depth. Her eyes, warm and reflective, seem to meet the viewer without words - a silent dialogue in which vulnerability and strength come together effortlessly. The artist captures not just a face, but an inner state: the calm awareness of someone who knows herself and is in no hurry to be understood.
The tones of her skin are subtly modelled with pastel nuances of reddish brown, pink and lilac, making the light seem to come from within, as it were. Her lips wear a soft sheen, like a whisper of kindness. The brushstrokes in her hair suggest movement, but also harmony - as if each lock sways with her calm presence.
The work exudes confidence, not as something loud or demonstrative, but as a gentle assurance growing in silence. Gentle confidence invites the viewer to pause, breathe and find strength in simplicity - in being, not in doing. Modern Abstract. Pastel painting.
