In this sensual and elegant black-and-white artwork, I portray the emotional landscape of a woman through a minimalist yet powerful composition. A female face emerges in profile, graceful and melancholic, as if suspended in a moment of quiet grief. The beautiful woman’s lips, slightly parted, suggest silence, vulnerability, and restrained passion.
At the center of the composition stands a delicate champagne glass, doubling as a metaphor and a visual anchor. It is not filled with celebration, but with something more intimate — her sorrow. Tears, thick with black mascara, gently fall from her closed eye, dissolving into the drink. The boundaries blur between a glass of wine and the vessel of inner pain.
This monochromatic painting unfolds as a female portrait and a symbolic gesture — a poetic toast to invisible struggles. Every ink stroke is intentional, every shadow carries weight. It is a tribute to silent strength, to emotion as beauty, and to the quiet rituals of healing.
