Irune

“Irune” captures a fleeting interiority, a moment suspended between observation and reverie. The artist renders the subject with a delicate, broken brush, building form through layers of luminous ochre and cool shadow. A restrained palette emphasizes the subtle shifts in light across the face, drawing the eye to a gaze that is both distant and intensely present. The background, a wash of muted greens and greys, suggests an environment felt more than seen—a hazy recollection of place. There is a quiet melancholy to the work, a sense of tenderness and vulnerability conveyed not through explicit expression, but through the nuanced handling of tone and the evocative quality of the brushwork. It is a portrait that invites prolonged contemplation, rewarding the viewer with a deepening sense of intimacy.
