Yana Medow - Scarlet Hour XXL

This original oil painting presents a powerful and elegant female portrait executed in her distinctive contemporary figurative style. The artwork combines surreal distortion, theatrical presence, and refined minimalism, creating a striking and memorable composition.

The figure is dressed in a bold crimson garment that dominates the canvas, contrasted by porcelain skin tones, flowing platinum hair, and a subtle monochrome background. The elongated facial features, sculptural lines, and vivid red accents emphasize both strength and introspection. The folded hands and lowered gaze evoke a sense of quiet authority, mystery, and psychological depth.

The limited yet dramatic color palette of red, ivory, grey, and black creates strong visual impact while maintaining sophistication and balance. The textured oil surface and expressive brushwork add depth and material richness to the painting.

Yana Medow’s work explores themes of femininity, identity, and inner tension, blending classical portrait traditions with modern surreal aesthetics. This artwork is ideal for collectors of contemporary art, modern figurative painting, expressive portraiture, and statement interior pieces.
