This original artwork “Alice” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ekaterina Kebal  and is available for sale online

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “Alice” is a portrait of a young girl, executed in a free, expressive manner. The artist uses a muted, yet richly nuanced color palette and broad, textured strokes to convey the tenderness, freshness, and light pensiveness characteristic of youth. It’s not just a depiction of appearance, but an attempt to capture the inner world and emotional state of the model.

At the center of attention of the painting is Alice’s face, slightly turned away from the viewer. Her gaze is cast down, as if she is immersed in her thoughts and feelings. The face seems soft and tender, the oval of the face is marked by only a few touches of the brush. The artist does not strive for photographic likeness but rather conveys the overall impression of the girl’s appearance, focusing on her natural beauty and youth.

The features of Alice’s face are executed in pastel tones: beige, pink, and peach. The artist uses various shades of these colors to create a sense of volume and texture of the skin. It is visible that the face is illuminated by soft, diffused light, which makes it even more attractive and expressive.

Alice’s hair, gathered in a simple ponytail at the back of her head, is done in reddish-brown tones. The artist uses free strokes to convey the texture of the hair and the play of light on its surface. The hair seems to frame the face, emphasizing its tenderness and youth.

Alice’s clothing, executed in lilac and blue tones, does not attract excessive attention. It serves as a background for the face and emphasizes its expressiveness. The simplicity and conciseness of the clothing add an element of modesty and refinement to the image.

Next to Alice, in a vase, is a bouquet of flowers, which adds brightness and freshness to the composition. The flowers are executed in various shades of pink, red, and white, which creates a feeling of celebration and joy. The greenery of the leaves, framing the flowers, adds an element of naturalness and harmony to the still life. The bouquet seems to symbolize beauty, freshness, and the flowering of youth.

The background of the painting is a blurred abstraction, in which the outlines of the interior or landscape are guessed. The artist uses warm and cold tones to create a sense of depth and volume. The background creates a sense of air and space and also allows Alice’s face to be the main focus of the painting.

The artist uses the technique of Impressionism, focusing on conveying the overall impression of what is seen, rather than on the detailed rendering of each object. Broad, free strokes create a sense of movement and liveliness, as if the air is filled with the scent of flowers, and youth is in full swing.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of tenderness, youth, and dreaminess. The painting seems to invite the viewer to look into Alice’s soul, feel her experiences, and reflect on the eternal. This canvas is about the beauty of youth, its innocence and purity, as well as about the hope and faith in the best that always lives in our hearts.

The title of the painting, “Alice,” focuses on the main character of the canvas—a young girl whose name is associated with miracles, adventures, and self-discovery. The painting seems to say that every girl is a unique world, full of secrets, riddles, and possibilities. It calls us to appreciate youth, to dream, and to believe in miracles.
