A modern abstract portrait painting of a young lady with a hint of cubism. This is one painting from a series inspired by a client commission. The client had requested a connection to nature, beauty (note her beauty mark) and renaissance portraiture. There is a reference to Pomellina Fregoso (1387/88 in Genoa – 1468 in Monaco) and the House of Grimaldi. All organic motifs and symbols are for the delight and interpretation of the viewer. This portrait is created with several layers of brush strokes. Confident brush work showcases a level of excellence, skill and an emotional connection to this scene. 8x10 inch Oil on canvas board **INTERNATIONAL FREE SHIPPING** **duties included** The painting is by Alexandra Swistak, representational and abstract artist and art teacher.
