The portrait of a man on a cold black indigo background is made in an expressive, expressive manner with a wide flat brush and palette knife. On the surface of the canvas, traces of the interaction of these two tools are visible . I create textured bookmarks on the canvas, apply a little paste-like paint here and there. Thanks to such manipulations, the picture turns out to be more unusual, acquiring a complex surface quality. The face in the painting is partly in shadow, partly in light. He is infinitely long between two worlds and cannot fully immerse himself in one of them.
