Melancholy

This expressive portrait of a Karina captures a delicate balance between melancholy and joy, her upward gaze suggesting hope or quiet contemplation. The fiery red background dominates into the portrait with bold, textured brushstrokes, evoking warmth and emotional depth. There is this layered approach to flesh and form, with echoes of structural intensity and abstract energy that merges portraiture and feeling in a uniquely tender, introspective composition.
