Yulia Navalnaya is an economist, mother of a son & daughter & the widow of Alexei Navalny, a political figure who died in 2024 while in prison. She is determined to keep alive her husband's fight for freedom & justice. This portrait was based on a interview done by CBS 60 minutes in October 2024. It was a challenge to capture her beauty, grace and grit! I wish her well and a lifetime of positive possibilities!
Another fine portrait! Her eyes are really piercing and I applaud your choice to keep the background minimal to better focus on your subject. I also like the use of complementary colors--especially yellow and purple, which can be difficult.
ReplyDeleteYour faces are tremendous.
ReplyDeleteShe’s not as dramatically painted as many of your portraits, so she would benefit from a darker background imo. That might enhance the subtle colors of her face.
