Black Current, a vertical acrylic portrait of a woman with dark hair in a loose updo and a direct gaze, painted in muted ochre, violet, dusty rose and turquoise colour planes against a light background.

Black Current

2026

Acrylic on canvas

60 × 80 cm

A contemporary acrylic portrait exploring direct presence, guarded resolve and the tension between openness and emotional restraint. Muted ochre, violet, dusty rose and turquoise colour planes, dark gathered hair and controlled vertical paint marks create a steady, self-contained presence. The figure meets the viewer without the protective distance of glasses, yet the emotional boundary remains intact.
