Description from the seller
A hypnotic focal point – powerful modernity meets expressive portraiture.
Dive into the fascinating world of contemporary portrait painting with this monumental artwork measuring 160 x 100 cm, titled “Smokey Eyes.” The piece captivates with its intense presence, where the intricately crafted facial expression and the distinctive, titular “Smokey Eyes” immediately draw all eyes to it.
The contrast between the almost photorealistic or classically pale face and the expressive, vibrant background makes this work an absolute statement piece for modern living spaces, lofts, or representative business rooms.

Title: “Smokey Eyes”
Dimensions: 160 cm x 100 cm x approximately 4 cm (large format / oversized)
Technique: High-quality mixed media using the finest oil, acrylic, and spray paint on premium artist canvas.
Condition: Brand new, directly from the artist’s studio.
Framing: Stretched on a canvas panel (gallery quality, edges painted, ready to hang).
About the technique & quality:
For this work, only premium artist paints were used. The combination of traditional oil paint for smooth transitions, lightfast acrylics for luminous textures, and urban spray paint elements creates a distinctive depth and a modern street-art touch that blend perfectly. Handmade original from the aesthetic series by the artist Yannick Leniger.
In 2003 Yannick Leniger began graffiti painting and gained experience with spray cans and the properties of various substrates during nightly campaigns.
In 2010 Yannick Leniger started creating his characteristic works from the flowering series, which have enjoyed great popularity. By combining spray cans and acrylics, Leniger developed various techniques that produce unique effects in the works. These mixed techniques are also found in Leniger’s current pieces. Influenced by artists such as Christiaan Lieverse and Pier Toffoletti, the current works depict people who are developed in conjunction with textural media. In several steps, parts are masked, revised, and accentuated.
From 2019 to 2022, Yannick Leniger was a member and treasurer of Kunstforderer e.V. in Unna, supporting the association in a variety of creative projects with children and young people, schools, and open all-day schools. Since 2023, Yannick Leniger has been the first chairman of Kunstforderer e.V. in Unna.
