Big portrait of a man.
In this watercolor creation, I channeled the serene yet intense spirit of introspection through an almost monochromatic palette, blending the edges of expressionism and realism. The gaze of the figure seeks to pierce beyond the superficial, inviting viewers to a deeper self-dialogue. In your home, this piece promises to be a meditative anchor, fostering a contemplative atmosphere amidst the daily whirl.

A quote from a review of my portfolio:
"It was difficult choosing my favourite artwork in Olga Brink's portfolio, as pieces such as 'Roses' and 'Rhododendron' are also very strong. However, 'Staring Into Your Soul' has particularly caught my attention. I believe this piece exemplifies the strength in versatility and emotional depth that the artist displays. It demonstrates her technical skill in watercolour to the fullest. The use of light and the use of shadow is distinctive. Paired with the intricate detailing of the face, the brush strokes are evocatively placed in the background to create an engaging atmosphere bound to captivate the viewer. This smoothing of edges of realism into the interpretation of the vision allows the work to create a compelling narrative, setting it apart in an already really impressive portfolio. Such adeptness in a myriad of colour palettes and subjects, alongside the her command over realism is indicative of a refined yet diverse artistic style, capable of appealing to a wide audience".
