Shadow, 2021

The painting "Shadow" is an intriguing, unique portrait painted with oil paints. The canvas presents its observers with a man with different emotions on his face. It is not entirely clear whether he is looking into the distance or piercing us with his gaze. His serious features are hard to guess, but his raised head may symbolize a fight-ready pose or a sense of pride. The intriguing look emanating from the canvas hypnotizes the observer. A strong accent here is the play with shades of gray, which have been used in such a way that the man's face seems to emerge from the black abyss.
