The Course 

"The Course" is a painting by Romanian artist Sabin Balasa. The piece is known for its striking use of dark blues and reds to create a sense of intense drama. The central figure, a woman with arms raised in a gesture of anguish, dominates the composition. The figures are contorted and the faces are obscured, conveying a sense of suffering and despair. The painting's theme of human struggle and loss is highlighted through the use of a powerful visual language that emphasizes both the physical and emotional weight of the subject.
