About this artwork
In this pastel drawing, I poured raw emotion into every stroke, blending expressionism and impressionism to reveal the complex soul beneath the surface. The intense colors and dynamic lines capture a story of resilience and vulnerability. This piece invites you to feel its energy—a powerful, contemplative presence that will transform your space with depth and emotional richness.

Credentials
- Works on commission
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.
