Dimensions: 150 x 100 cm (59 x 39.4 inch)

Medium: Oil on canvas

Contemplating a powerful expression of emotion and abstraction, 'Homesick' is a magnificent original oil painting by the contemporary artist Daria Baluta. This large-scale piece captures a deep psychological state through highly textured and expressive brushwork, making it a compelling example of emotional portraiture. The generous vertical canvas measures 150 cm (Height) x 100 cm (Width).

Inspired by the artist’s own experiences of distance and yearning for home, "Homesick" captures the bittersweet essence of missing loved ones and familiar places. The composition features the profile and exposed shoulder of a figure, rendered with raw, fragmented planes of colour. Baluta’s mastery of oil on canvas is showcased through the heavy impasto technique, where thick layers of paint in deep blues, greens, stark whites, and electrifying yellows sculpt the figure and define its mood. The subject's gaze is directed towards the left, conveying a sense of longing and introspection.

The figure emerges dramatically from a deeply textured, abstract background dominated by brooding blues and blacks, suggesting a turbulent, emotional space. The swirling patterns of colour represent the ebb and flow of emotions, with waves of sadness interspersed with bursts of joy. A striking, arched streak of vibrant red and yellow light emanates from the figure, cutting across the dark space like a memory of warmth. As you gaze upon the painting, you may find yourself reflecting on your own cherished memories, experiencing a profound connection to the longing it portrays. "Homesick" invites you to explore the delicate balance between heartache and hope, making it a poignant and uplifting visual journey. This exceptional Daria Baluta oil painting is a premier example of contemporary expressive portraiture and abstract art, perfect for collectors who appreciate raw emotion, psychological depth, and bold, textured technique.
