Statue

In this black and white picture you can see the face of the statue. The clear contours of the face smoothly merge into one another, creating the impression of the softness and smoothness of marble. Shades of gray and black reproduce deep shadows and light accents, adding depth and volume to the image. The facial expression is characterized by exquisite beauty and mystery. The lack of explicit expression allows different observers to see different emotions in the image of the statue — from calmness and thoughtfulness to tenderness and mystery. The use of oil paints creates a deep relief effect on the surface of the canvas, and the palette of shades of black and white adds shades of depth and texture to the palette of the image. This painting leaves the viewer with questions and reflections about the nature of beauty, art and the inner depth of the character.
