Girl with Lillies

A portrait of a girl emerges through layered abstraction, her face rendered in warm ochres and yellows against cooler blues and purples. Lilies in pale greens and whites occupy the lower portion, their forms dissolving into the gestural marks that define the composition. The mixed-media surface reveals evidence of multiple reworkings, with overlapping strokes and tonal shifts creating psychological depth. Niemann’s commitment to daily artistic practice manifests in the painting’s accumulated layers and considered formal relationships.
