Ice Maiden 2022, 2022

Aslan Orazaev creates incredibly textured and sensual works. His characters are remarkably expressive regardless of what the feel, joy or sadness. The artist's style perfectly conveys the mood, while other details are omitted. In the artwork Ice Maiden, Orazaev lovingly depicts a young woman, who looks detached, brooding. Delicate face, frozen lips, melancholic gaze, cold beauty. It's as though we found ourselves by the sea in the winter, where the once-welcoming summer landscape has taken on a melancholy and wistful appearance, but everything else is unchanged.
