Girl student 2012

"Girl Student" is a 2012 painting by the Ukrainian artist Alexander Roitburd (1961-2021), known for his figurative works that often explore themes of identity and social commentary. This work features a female figure, depicted in a somewhat melancholic pose, suggesting a sense of introspection. The subject's gaze is directed upwards, while her body is adorned with a series of gold-toned cords that appear to be restricting her movements. Roitburd's signature style of painting, using thick impasto and vibrant colors, adds a textured and expressive quality to the canvas, further emphasizing the complex emotions embedded within the painting.
