An enigmatic contemporary figurative painting that presents two semi-abstracted figures, rendered in broad, raw brushstrokes, and executed in oil onto board.

The central figure dominates the composition with a pale pink face, its expression subdued and introspective, clothed in a deep block of black that anchors the work. To the left, a second, fainter visage emerges – its features less defined, almost spectral – set against a backdrop of intense crimson.

The style is deeply expressionistic, favouring emotional resonance over realism. The artist has used loose, textured brushwork, allowing streaks of paint to drag and layer across the surface. The palette is limited but powerful: saturated reds, stark black, white, and fleshy pinks combine to create a mood of tension and vulnerability. The contrast between the figures and the turbulent background enhances the sense of psychological depth, suggesting themes of presence and absence, solitude and companionship.

This is a painting that invites reflection – it conveys both fragility and unease, capturing fleeting, human emotions with raw immediacy.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary slim wood frame frame. Both the painting and frame are in very good condition.
