Unspoken

An expressive portrait full of energy, emotion and character. There's something about this face that makes you want to stop and take a closer look. The mix of loose, bold marks, layers of texture and splashes of pink against the earthy tones gives the painting a raw, almost unfinished feel.

I love the contrast between the darker, more chaotic areas and the softer details of the face. There's a sense of a story behind the expression, something that perhaps can't quite be put into words.

For me, this painting is about those feelings and thoughts we all carry but don't always share. The things left unspoken.
