A figure with striking facial features, dominated by intense eyes and rich, dark lips. The use of soft pastels allows for a rich interplay of textures and colors, with Wheeler employing a palette that transitions from cool blues in the background to warm oranges and yellows, suggesting a dynamic, almost fiery aura around the subject.
The abstract elements in the background contrast with the detailed rendering of the face, emphasizing the subject’s emotional depth and possibly reflective state. The portrait’s size and the medium’s inherent softness lend an ethereal quality to the image, with the colors blending seamlessly into one another, enhancing the dreamlike atmosphere of the painting.
“…blend of realism and abstraction, a hallmark of Wheeler’s style.”
“…stunning use of color and texture that draws you in.”
“uses color and form to not only depict a person but to convey their inner life and emotions.”
