Painting of a model resting, oil on canvas, 2001

Title of the work: Le modèle: doux reveil

Signed ‘Roman’

Dimensions: 46 x 55 cm

Modern European school. Post-impressionist figuration with expressionist influences.

Figurative composition depicting a female model indoors, realized with a modern painting language characterized by formal simplification and chromatic synthesis. The figure is captured in an intimate and contemplative pose, creating a quiet and evocative atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of decorative elements suggesting a domestic and nighttime setting.

The work shows characteristics of twentieth-century figurative post-impressionism, with a structure based on color planes and defined contours that organize the composition without relying on academic detail. The loose brushwork and anatomical stylization provide a subtle expressionist dimension, while the composition and elegance of the figure evoke feelings of modernism closely aligned with the European decorative language of the first half of the twentieth century.
