Mia 2018

"Mia" (2018) is an oil painting by Vincent Xeus, a contemporary artist born in 1981. The painting features a young woman with short blonde hair, gazing directly at the viewer with a stoic expression. Her features are rendered with a loose and painterly style, with the background rendered in a blurred, almost abstract way. This deliberate lack of detail creates a sense of mystery around the subject and her surroundings. The painting's title, "Mia," suggests a sense of intimacy, but the overall mood of the work is one of quiet introspection.
