About this work

This painting shows a close-up of a person’s face and shoulders. The skin looks rough, almost textured, with a mix of brown and reddish tones. The background is dark and messy, blending into the face. The person is wearing a dark collar that stands out against their skin. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a gritty, unfinished feel. It’s like the artist didn’t smooth things out—just layered paint right on top. If you like this style, look up impasto.
