"Portrait" (2008) by Alexander Roitburd (1961-2021) depicts a man in a suit, seated and holding a pipe, against a backdrop of stylized blossoms. The thick impasto brushstrokes lend a textured quality to the painting, adding to its expressive nature.

This portrait exemplifies Roitburd's ability to capture both the individual and the universal through his bold and stylized approach.
