Anastasia 07: Small Portrait Painting in Ink on Paper

Introducing "Anastasia 07," a small portrait painting in ink on paper measuring 6x4.5 inches (15x11.5 cm) created in 2023.

This piece is part of my latest series, "Anastasia," which is inspired by the captivating legend of Russia's Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna.

Drawing inspiration from the award-winning playwright Terrence McNally's musical, I aimed to capture the essence of Anastasia's miraculous escape from political execution.

With the use of ink, I created a sense of fluidity and movement, as if Anastasia is escaping into the unknown.

The contrast between the bold black ink and the white space around it creates a striking visual effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of Anastasia's face and expression.

This small portrait painting is not only a tribute to the legend of Anastasia but also a celebration of the power of storytelling.
