Angela by Darya Sokolova Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 76 x 102 cm Year: 2024 Price: $2100.00 USD Status: available She is the warmth of the sand under bare feet. She is salt air and untamed hair. She is softness wrapped in strength. This portrait was inspired by summer energy. Coastal blues, coral heat, ocean breeze, and that quiet but powerful feminine confidence that rises like the tide. Why collect this work?A tightly cropped frontal portrait gains force from the tension between the face’s near symmetry and the hair’s expansive, uneven silhouette. Sokolova states that she makes portraits for women who “refuse to blend in.” The direct gaze supports this intention, while the closed mouth and reserved expression complicate any simple performance of confidence.In the supplied photograph, dark contours divide the face into angular planes, with coral-toned cheek marks interrupting the pale modelling. The patterned garment and flat blue ground concentrate attention on the eyes.Catalogued as acrylic on canvas, the medium accommodates both opaque colour fields and precise linear definition. Here, that range helps hold graphic pattern and modelled facial structure within one visual register, without making either fully naturalistic.Dated 2024 and measuring 76 by 102 cm, Angela provides a focused case for considering how contemporary portraiture can combine decorative pattern, stylised anatomy and feminine self-possession without reducing identity to likeness.
