๐จ *Essential Anna*. Johannes Hรผppi, 2017. Oil on canvas.
๐๏ธWith a traditional formal approach from Hueppi, *Essential Anna*'s eyes come out from the canvas. Through a very light paintstroke and a warm chromatism, Hueppi manages to point out the portrait's sight deepness and creates a floating atmosphera around it. Her face, her thoughts, her eyes, they are there, in between the paint layers.
โ๏ธ Can you guess what is she thinking about?
