Acrylic painting Radiant Woman Maksym Newskulenko

№New 18

The acrylic painting titled "Radiant Woman" is a striking portrait of a woman rendered in a bold, graphic style. The subject is presented against a geometric, abstract background that features angular shapes and blocks of color, creating a dynamic and somewhat unsettling atmosphere. The woman is centered in the composition, facing forward with her gaze meeting the viewer's, which along with the title, suggests a sense of self-assuredness. Her expression is composed and serious, with subtle hints of intensity in her eyes. This, combined with the painting's title, conveys an aura of self-possession and strength. She wears a dark, high-collared garment that gives the impression of formal or professional attire. Over this, she has a green jacket with red details that create sharp contrasts, accentuating the painting's overall graphic quality. The jacket's design includes pointed, angular shapes that echo the forms in the background, integrating her figure into the abstract space behind her. A large, stylized necklace with oversized, round beads adorns her neck, serving as a focal point of the painting. The beads are shaded to give a three-dimensional effect, standing out against the flatness of the other elements. The color palette of the portrait is limited but impactful, with the cool tones of the woman's clothing playing off against the warmer tones of her skin and the necklace. The background employs a mix of blues, greens, and a muted red, which provides a contrast to the figure while also complementing the overall composition. The brushwork is precise and deliberate, with clear boundaries between colors and shapes, giving the painting a clean, almost illustrative quality. The lack of visible brushstrokes or texture in the background elements further emphasizes the flat, stylized nature of the work. This painting captures a moment of stillness, with a focus on the subject's inner sense of certainty and poise. The interplay of abstract shapes, the sharpness of the subject's attire, and the directness of her gaze all contribute to a portrait that is both modern and timeless, conveying the concept of "Radiant Woman" as something both felt and displayed.

The heroines of the works are calm, majestic, as if goddesses in modern clothes are preoccupied with the affairs of the present and are full of thoughts about the eternal. Each of them has its own story and is imbued with the author's personal love for the female image. The artist conveys the feeling of admiration, respect and exaltation of women as the source of life.
