Breath

A nude figure lies on a sofa, stretched along the horizontal plane of the painting. The body is turned toward the viewer, yet the gaze moves aside, avoiding direct contact. One arm hangs down freely while the other rests on the back of the sofa, creating a sense of fatigue and inner detachment. The composition is structured around the diagonal of the body, dividing the space into zones of light and shadow. The background is non-specific, functioning as a painterly atmosphere in which the figure seems to dissolve. The contrast between the weight of the pose and the softness of the color transitions evokes a state of quiet, slowed time — not action, but presence.
