About

The painting Portrait, dating from 1985, presents a highly stylized human figure reduced to basic geometric forms and delicate linear structures. The composition is dominated by an oval-shaped head and a schematically outlined upper body, whose contours almost dissolve into the light background. A distinctive feature is the series of dark diagonal lines in the upper part of the head, contrasting with the delicate drawing and translucent-looking planes.

The painting is characterized by its minimalist approach, restrained colour palette, and emphasis on the interplay of lines and forms. Muted grey-white, beige, and ochre tones create subtle tonal transitions, while a dense network of fine parallel lines in the lower part of the composition lends the work a pronounced graphic structure. The combination of geometrically simplified planes and delicate drawing creates a sense of lightness, spatial layering, and visual harmony.

The work is executed in mixed media on canvas, measuring 63 × 80 cm, and dated 1985. The painting is framed. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the artist's son.
