DESCRIPTION

This oil on canvas painting, measuring 70 x 50 cm and entitled yuriel, is conceived as a fantasy portrait that uses imagination as a reflective and introspective language. Rather than offering a fixed narrative, the work opens a psychological space where identity, desire, and inner tension can surface and remain unresolved.

Within the realm of adult fantasy, Yuriel exists beyond escapism. the figure is shaped through symbolism and atmosphere, inviting projection and personal interpretation. the portrait functions as a mirror, encouraging the viewer to engage with themes of self exploration, restraint, vulnerability, and transformation.

The use of oil paint gives the work a tactile and embodied presence. Layered brushwork and subtle tonal transitions create depth while preserving ambiguity. Light and shadow are treated as emotional elements, suggesting internal states rather than purely describing form.

As key art, Yuriel suggests a broader narrative beyond the frame. The painting captures a moment of becoming, where fantasy operates as a mature and conscious space for reflection, and where meaning emerges through stillness, complexity, and quiet intensity.
