About this work

This painting shows a rough, close-up face with heavy brushstrokes. The colors are mostly browns, blacks, and pale skin tones. The texture looks thick, almost like the paint was slapped on. You can see the canvas weave peeking through in spots. The signature in the bottom corner reads "Crețulescu Honoriu," but the rest is hard to make out. The style feels raw and unfinished, with no smooth blends. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
