'Justina'

About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a person’s face and neck. The colors are bold—reds, blues, and greens clash in thick, uneven strokes. Some areas look almost like wet paint, while others blend into smudges. The face is front-facing, with a neutral expression and dark, simple eyes. The name *Justina* is signed in the corner, but the style feels raw and unfinished, almost like a sketch that’s been worked over. The paint is layered heavily, giving it a textured, almost 3D look. This technique is called impasto.
