About this work

Claudia Millian painted a woman with a tear rolling down her cheek. She holds a cross while wearing a dark dress that blends into the background. The red spot of blood on her forehead adds a stark contrast. This work shows deep emotion with simple tools. The tear and the blood drop focus our attention on quiet sorrow. The plain background keeps the focus on her face. Want to see more of her work? Try searching for Millian, Claudia.
