This surreal portrait painting explores the tension between fragility and strength through expressive detail and layered texture. The composition reveals the partial face of a woman, her piercing eye emerging from soft washes of color while her hair whips across the canvas in a wave of energy.

Within the strands bloom vivid blue flowers, a symbol of resilience and transformation, offering contrast against the earthy background. The layered textures and abstract mark-making give the piece movement and depth, which allows the viewer to discover new elements with each glance.

Though this artwork has been sold, it remains a significant part of my figurative mixed media portfolio. Collectors and designers are often drawn to its emotional intensity, bold symbolism, and the way it blends surrealism with contemporary portraiture.

This painting was made specifically for Anna.
