The Gaze Into Deeper Realities

More about The Gaze Into Deeper Realities

A highly detailed, thick impasto oil painting in a maximalist and surreal style, depicting a female face from the nose up and slightly to the left, with her gaze directed upwards and outwards. Her skin is textured with heavy, sculpted brushstrokes of various shades of beige, cream, and faint blues and grays, giving it a fragmented, mosaic-like appearance. Her lips are a soft coral color, sculpted to show slight separation. She has a Roman nose. Her eyes are wide open, with blue and green irises, reflecting light. The right eye is significantly larger and takes up a good portion of the upper right quadrant of the image. The area around her face and within her features, such as her brow and cheeks, is covered in swirling patterns of small, intricate, eye-like forms and circular shapes, some appearing like cogs, gears, or scattered beads. These eye-like forms vary in size and color, featuring black pupils and irises in shades of blue, green, and brown, lending a sense of being perpetually watched or a multitude of perspectives. The color palette is dominated by warm ochres, cool blues, and creams, with touches of black and olive green. The overall effect is textured and dreamlike
