O. Delgado - Anastasia XL

ANASTASIA

Anastasia explores the relationship between identity, affection, and emotional connection through a contemporary portrait that transcends conventional representations of the human figure. The work invites reflection on the bonds we form with other beings, understanding affection as a form of communication that needs no words.

The artist develops a figurative style with an expressionist sensibility, in which the figures combine recognizable features with a free and spontaneous interpretation of forms. Anatomy is built through broad brushstrokes, gestural marks, and layers of color that add volume and depth without losing the freshness of the painterly gesture.

Color plays a leading role in the construction of the work. Intense blues, greens, and warm hues create striking visual contrasts, balancing energy and serenity. Color serves as both an expressive and structural device, defining the forms and reinforcing the composition’s character.

The brushwork retains a marked spontaneity, with more defined areas alongside freer, more gestural ones. This alternation between precision and simplification brings dynamism to the painted surface and reflects a pursuit of expressiveness over academic realism.
