VITYRA - Jonah

Jonah
Oil and acrylic on canvas
100 cm x 140 cm (39 inches x 55 inches)

Jonah is a contemporary portrait that concentrates everything into presence and tension.

Painted in oil and acrylic on canvas (100 x 140 cm), Jonah appears as a dark, monumental silhouette set against a cool violet field. The face is pared back to two pale eyes: blank, distant, unreadable, while the vivid pink tongue becomes the painting’s focal point: intimate, confrontational, and charged with physical immediacy.

The reduced palette and clean structure give the work a quiet authority. With almost no context offered, Jonah becomes a private encounter: close, direct, and unresolved. The image holds a steady pressure: attraction mixed with distance, exposure held inside control. The longer you look, the more the simplicity begins to feel deliberate, like a single, distilled moment made permanent.

A large statement piece with strong visual impact, Jonah is designed to command a room and keep the viewer returning.
