About This Painting

"Angel" is an oil on canvas that measures 75x135 cm, featuring a figure with pink hair sitting atop a high ledge against a backdrop of expansive blue skies and whimsical cloud formations. The subject's relaxed and introspective posture, combined with the surreal surrounding elements, invokes a moment of peaceful reflection or waiting, enhanced by the dreamlike quality of the scene.
