AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The artwork will be shipped with its frame, includes a certificate of authenticity, securely bubble-wrapped and packaged in a sturdy cardboard box.

This intimate close-up captures a suspended moment between thought and desire. The slightly parted lips and the gentle tension of the hand suggest a private gesture, observed but never fully revealed. Soft, layered brushwork and warm skin tones draw the viewer in, inviting prolonged contemplation. A sensual, psychologically charged piece that balances vulnerability and quiet provocation—designed to reward those who look closely.

Dora Bánhegyi is a Hungarian visual artist working primarily with figurative and portrait painting. Her practice explores self-perception, intimacy, and the dynamics of the gaze, often drawing from self-photography as a contemporary mirror. Blending academic drawing with expressive and subtly surreal elements, she focuses on moments of ambiguity and quiet tension. Working across oil, acrylic, and watercolor, her paintings balance psychological depth with refined attention to form, light, and presence.
