The work “Elara” explores the fragility of human identity through a bold combination of figurative portraiture and abstract expressionism. The character’s face is partially dissolved in dense textures and vibrant colors—red, pink, green, and white—applied in thick, almost sculptural strokes that give the painting a tactile and visceral dimension. Against the uniform, calm purple background, the figure becomes a stark contrast between tranquility and inner chaos. The blue gaze, clearly defined, seems to search for meaning in the midst of transformation. The character’s clothes, decorated with delicate floral motifs, suggest rebirth, an organic continuity between man and nature. This work invites the privilege to reflect on the process of change, vulnerability, and self-reconstruction. The artwork will be sold hand-signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. About artist: Hazu Ionut is a self-taught painter born in Bacau, Romania. From a young age he was attracted to visual arts, but without a mentor to guide him, he took the brush and started painting. He still doesn't have a particular style, that's why in his portfolio we find works of art from portraits to figurative art and static nature. Many of his artworks have appeared in various catalogs dedicated to art lovers. To see his work you can find him on social media platforms. Instagram/Facebook @ionuthazu
