About this artwork
A young man brings a cigarette to his lips and looks back at you —
or through you. The eyes catch first: pale, fixed, somewhere between
present and elsewhere. He has been thinking about something for a
long time, and you have walked into the middle of it.
The painting was built as a collision of temperatures. The background
burns in cadmium red and violet — heat, internal weather, the colour
of a room felt rather than seen. Against it, the… face is cool, almost
ill: emerald greens, ultramarine shadows, violet hollows under the
eyes. The skin is not painted as skin but as a mood — what a thought
looks like from the inside.
Heavy impasto and palette-knife marks keep the work physical. There
is no smoothing, no softening; the texture of the paint refuses to
let the viewer settle into comfort.
A portrait of the moment between an inhale and a sentence never said.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Dan Makayda (D.K., dan.makayda) is a self-taught painter working primarily in oil on linen canvas and dry pastel on black paper, shaped by both instinct and recent mentorship. His techniques merge Impressionism and Expressionism, with gestural, confident brushwork, bold impasto textures, and intense, often warm color palettes, favoring visible strokes over seamless blending. His portraits render the human face as an expressive landscape, evoking vulnerability, resilience, and a visceral emotional energy that aims to be felt before understood.
