About this artwork
Figure painted in oil on stretched canvas. A series of layers using paint and oil bars to create a loose suggestive interpretation of a figure. This piece which started as a realistic rendition soon became something very different as I explored techniques and different mark making.

« "It is my intention to render my subject as simply as possible, omitting fussy details that often make for a banal work of art." »
Denise Henley is an award-winning painter, who was born in Guyana and now resides in the United States. In her art, she expresses the complexities and beauty of the human form using an elegant simplicity. Henley’s portraits are created to evoke quiet and intimate contemplation.
