Woman with a wide-brimmed hat

A female portrait inspired by Fauvism and Expressionism, in which the striking contrast between the reds and oranges of the clothing, the greens of the chair and the cool tones of the face creates a strong chromatic tension. The bold outlines structure the composition, while the texture of the oil pastel adds material richness and enhances the expressiveness of the strokes. The direct gaze and introspective pose give the figure a serene, contemplative character.
