Virgínia is a contemporary painter focused on realism. The technique has always been the basis of her work, as well as design and taste - giving realism a freer and more expressive approach.
This painting has had many layers calculated and planned, to control every aspect of the painting. From textures to details, they all work together to represent more than a simple portrait, but a real tangle of human emotions. The thick brushstrokes run across the canvas through the soft tones used on the main character highlighted by the black background.
