Beyond the Beauty I started this painting without planning, I was looking for the pleasure of doing something free of thinking and without commitment. The background resulted in an abstract painting with shades of grey and delicate nuances of colors. In my exploration of put together abstract and figurative items, I found in this woman's face the perfect combination for the artwork. The rough texture of her skin contrasts with the delicacy of her features and the saturation in her eyes and mouth enhance her femininity.
