Impasto-Ölporträt einer Iranerin mit „خفه شدم از سکوت“ („Die Stille erstickt mich“)

Thick impasto oil-painting portrait of an Iranian woman, aggressive brushstrokes, crimson and ochre. Face nearly still, but the brows are pressed low and locked together, the eyes burning wide and unblinking, lower lid tensed — rage held under the skin. Beneath the canvas, a raw sketchy hand-drawn rectangle with shaky handwritten script: "خفه شدم از سکوت".
