Vibrant, expressive, and bursting with energy, Fiona (Sketch 2) is a striking example of Yermolova’s ability to capture movement and emotion through bold abstraction. The figure, caught in a moment of introspection, is bathed in a luminous palette that enhances the sense of warmth and vitality. The expressive brushwork and fluid application of oil on canvas make this piece feel alive, as if the subject is shifting within the painting.
The composition is dominated by warm tones—burnt oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows—set against softer pastels and a dramatic red backdrop. The layering of oil paint adds both texture and depth, creating a visceral, tactile surface. Yermolova’s signature drips and raw strokes heighten the painting’s dynamic energy, blurring the boundaries between figuration and abstraction.
Signed and ready to display, Fiona (Sketch 2) is a bold, captivating work that exudes warmth and movement. It is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online.
