The Wind by Lina Poluna Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 25 x 20 cm Year: 2026 Price: $700.00 USD Status: available The wind carries away what can no longer remain, leaving behind the ache of what was lost. Some things cannot be stopped or held onto. Sometimes, acceptance is simply learning to let the wind pass through you. Why collect this work?Dark strands repeatedly cross the face, making interrupted visibility the painting’s central action. Wind appears through its effect on the figure, as a force that obscures identity rather than opening space. The artist profile describes Lina Poluna’s practice as exploring emotional tension beneath visible stillness. Here, that concern is compressed into an exposed eye and a partially concealed mouth.In the photograph, pale skin emerges from a nearly black field while hair cuts across the eye, lips, and neck. A tear-like vertical line suggests distress, but the cropped face withholds its cause.Catalogued as oil on canvas and measuring 25 by 20 cm, the work uses strong tonal separation and fine linear marks. Oil makes both dense darkness and precise delineation possible, though surface texture cannot be judged from the photograph.The catalogue description connects wind with loss and acceptance. The visible obstruction complicates that account, making this painting a focused case study in how contemporary portraiture can represent change through concealment rather than narrative action.
