Odihna 2001

"Odihna" (Rest) is a 2001 painting by Romanian artist Gil Nicolescu (1942-2020). The painting depicts a single, yellow-clad figure lying on a bed with a colorful patchwork quilt. The figure's relaxed pose and the window overlooking a cityscape suggests a moment of tranquility and introspection. Nicolescu's signature style is evident in the bold, geometric forms and vibrant colors. The painting is a powerful example of Nicolescu's unique approach to figuration and his ability to capture the human experience with nuance and depth.
