Sleeping (contemplating) girl

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: private collection.

Briefly about the painting:

The artist depicts a young woman in a dreamy state with half-closed eyes. The presence of three eggs scattered around the table in the foreground is not connected with the appearance of the model. The specialty of the painting is strange pretty bright lighting that comes somewhere from below, as if an open hearth is burning there. There is no doubt that it is this light that makes the beautiful face of a girl as if made of precious metal. Art critics see the artist’s love for cinema with its ingenious illumination, exaggerated emphasis on a mysterious light.
