Description:
Both the beautiful model and the background are painted entirely with a knife. A high level of contrast is provided and the colours made extremely rich, bold and lustrous, thus creating a very contemporary feel overall.
Model Katarzyna appears almost luminous as she curiously gazes to the light source, innocent of her artist, sensually expressive to her onlookers, yet dignified in her appearance.
"A late lark twitters from the quiet skies: And from the west, Where the sun, his day's work ended, Lingers as in content, There falls on the old, gray city An influence luminous and serene, A shining peace." (William Henley)
It's a large, sensual and very dramatic, moody and atmospheric painting that would not look out of place as a feature in any location.
See the image below of this anonymous, figurative fine art nude oil painting to get an idea of how it would look hung unframed. When framed, it would perhaps be even better still. See 'The Passion' to get an idea of how it would look when framed.
Contact myself for more information about this work of art, or if you would like to purchase a print. Obviously, the quality of the original painting and prints is much better than displayed here, though if you wish to make a closer inspection, please let me know of any specific area you're interested in and I'll e mail a higher resolution image to you.
