About this work

The painting shows a woman's face with simple features. It's created with quick brushstrokes and only two main colors. The artist focuses on the eyes and gaze, giving the portrait a sense of depth. The portrait has an abstract feel to it, which was influenced by the artistic style of the time. The artist was part of a group that explored new ways of expressing Greek identity through art. This group, known as the "Generation of the '30s," played a significant role in shaping Greek art. The simple yet expressive style of this portrait is reminiscent of the work of Mylona, Alex (1920-2016).
