Reading 

Octav Angheluta created this painting, titled Reading, employing thick brushstrokes and a warm palette that evokes a sense of intimate observation. The subject, a woman engrossed in a book, is rendered with careful attention to the play of light and shadow across her face and clothing. Angheluta masterfully balances structure and texture. The composition is defined by a series of horizontal and vertical lines, contrasting with the dynamism of the brushstrokes. The materiality of the paint itself becomes part of the narrative. Each dab of color contributes to the overall form, creating a semiotic system of signs that invites the viewer to decode its visual components. Ultimately, Reading becomes not just a representation of a woman reading but an exploration of form and perception, a place for ongoing interpretation.
