Everybody brings a light - Elisa

This captivating oil painting features a striking portrayal of a woman captured from a unique perspective. The subject, with long dark hair, gazes directly at the viewer with an enigmatic expression that prompts reflection and connection. Her hands are clasped in front of her, fingers intertwined, suggesting a moment of contemplation or vulnerability. The use of light accentuates her facial features, while the minimalistic white background draws attention to her figure, enhancing the overall impact of the composition. The artwork radiates a sense of intimacy, creating a profound viewing experience.
This painting would be an excellent focal point in a living room, study, or gallery space, where it can invite conversation and contemplation. Its emotional depth makes it well-suited for personal spaces, such as a bedroom or private studio, creating an introspective atmosphere.

Oil on linen 20x30x2cm (7.9x11.8x0.8in) 2018, ready to hang. This is the first of a series of paintings in which I wanted to show how everybody is beautiful and important. Everybody brings a light inside and gives it to the world. I asked to a group of people (my girlfriend, some friends of mine, a gallerist...) to pose for a painting in which he/she was holding a light. These people have become, in this series of small, highly detailed paintings, my 'light bringers'. The project is bound to continue in the following years. Everybody can partecipate by contacting me at paolo.borile@libero.it.
