Lis N-6 – Abstract Expressionist Character Portraiture by Retne
A contemplative and distorted male figure rests into his own hand, absorbed in silence. The expressive brushwork and raw palette — with deep blacks, muted ochres, and bursts of red and blue — convey emotional weight and solitude. Thick layers of acrylic and dynamic impasto gestures bring life and tension to the composition.
A bold and emotionally resonant artwork that will add depth and impact to any modern interior.
