Arum lillies

A portrait study rendered in warm, earthy tones dominated by ochre and deep greens. The figure’s elongated face emerges from shadow with simplified, mask-like features, whilst decorative white forms—suggestive of arum lilies—frame the composition in the lower register. The paint is applied with directness across the board surface, creating a contemplative presence that balances figuration with decorative abstraction. Niemann’s practice of daily engagement with the canvas is evident in this considered work.
