Melancholia

Palette knives create thick, clean brushstrokes that come together to form this vibrant and colourful close-up portrait. Bright and contrasting colours produce an expressive painting, exhibiting a brute force and fascinating vital energy. Oil and knife combine to sculpt an image that is, at the same time, biting and incisive, pensive and sensitive. Without depicting any body part other than a dramatic concentrated view of the face, the artist takes a risk. The painting is fervent, the colours free, exuberant, surprising, even explosive, the cut of the knife dominant, the colour pallet dazzling. Thus this work of art becomes a visual stimulus full of energy.
