This captivating painting captures a stylish young woman standing beside a full-length mirror, reflecting her cheerful demeanor. She has long, flowing blonde hair and is dressed in a light blue blouse paired with beige shorts, embodying a fresh and contemporary look. The rich, warm tones of her skin complement the earthy shades of her outfit. The setting features a sleek, modern interior with hints of natural light filtering through a window, creating an inviting atmosphere. The detailed reflection in the mirror adds depth to the composition, drawing the viewer’s eye and enhancing the overall narrative of self-reflection and confidence. The use of soft brush strokes and subtle highlights brings a lifelike quality to the piece, making it a delightful focal point for any room. This painting would be an excellent addition to a modern living room, bedroom, or hallway, where it can inspire feelings of positivity and self-confidence. Its light and airy aesthetic would blend well with minimalistic or contemporary decor, while also adding a touch of elegance. Ideal for spaces that emphasize natural light and openness, this artwork invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty of the subject and the intricacies of everyday life.

This artwork is part of the 2025 paintings which investigate human psychology and beaviours. “Great expectations” shows a woman in front of a mirror. She is looking at us, smiling, while her reflection looks straight at her. This is a representation of our ego, which is demanding and moral, we come face to face when we are in front of our image, looking at the mirror. Setting up a sketch for “Great expectations” was a long and interesting process: I went through and rejected many ideas and images before I chose the one which best suited my intentions. I painted this artwork with a classic, blended technique, using bright colours. The painting is full of light, despite the sense of anxiety which bring to the viewer.
“Great expectations” is a 80x120cm oil painting, stretched on a supported wooden canvas and ready to hang.
