Girl with a Pearl Earring, 2025

A minimalist interpretation of the iconic Girl with a Pearl Earring, this 25 x 25 cm canvas on board is rendered using a palette knife and a restrained color scheme: sienna, black, and white. The bold, textural strokes emphasize form over detail, creating a tactile presence that transcends literal portraiture.

The figure emerges from a stark, ink-like backdrop, breaking through the hand-drawn frame — a visual metaphor for crossing boundaries between past and present, tradition and abstraction.

 

The facelessness evokes universality, while the signature pearl glints quietly from under heavy brushwork, anchoring the image in its art-historical lineage.
