Acrylic and chalk on board

29 × 42cm

I created this artwork using acrylic paint and chalk pastel on board, capturing a quiet moment of thought and reflection. The girl’s gaze is directed away, creating a sense of curiosity.
I used acrylic paint to build strong background shapes, while chalk pastel was layered to create softer textures and subtle details. The combination of these materials helps bring depth to the portrait, highlighting the expression and atmosphere of the scene.
This artwork explores the idea of slowing down and appreciating simple moments.
