About this artwork
A portrait of a girl that explores the comfort of subtle hues with high texture. I was inspired by the simple yet complex tonal shifts of light reflections to create the shimmery background and clothing in this stoic portrait, says artist Ryan Pickart. Subtle pastels appear in gentle harmony with darker shades. The tender rendering of the subject's face is enhanced by the bold strokes of paint on her clothing and in the background.
