Silent Profile

Silent Profile — Contemporary Female Portrait in Mixed Media

Silent Profile is an original contemporary female portrait created in acrylic and pastel on canvas (60×75 cm) by Italian artist Dario Moschetta.
The painting depicts a young woman in profile, immersed in a moment of quiet introspection.
A soft blue background gently surrounds the figure, enhancing the warmth of the skin tones and reinforcing the sense of calm suspension.

Rather than focusing on narrative, the work explores atmosphere and emotional balance.
The restrained use of gesture and the delicate layering of acrylic and pastel generate depth without excess, allowing the portrait to retain a timeless, contemplative quality.
The figure appears distant yet intimate, inviting a silent dialogue with the viewer.

Original acrylic and pastel portrait on canvas

This artwork reflects the artist’s ongoing exploration of silence, beauty, and inner presence within contemporary portrait painting.
Each brushstroke and pastel layer is applied with precision, particularly in the face and hair, where subtle tonal transitions reveal multiple layers of expression.
The composition remains intentionally minimal, directing attention entirely toward the subject.

Signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, the painting is shipped worldwide in secure professional packaging.
Silent Profile is a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork suitable for private collections, curated interiors, and refined contemporary spaces.
