Semplicity is the best way to represent art. Even when a piece of art looks intricate, obscure and ineffable we (may) alwyas find out that what we are looking at is the expression of a very simple concept, almost basical, but at the same time we realize that it has something peculiar, which give it a unique and remarkable touch. But why is that?

When an artist creates it is not 100% working, but there is something like a 80% technique skills, talent, ecc. and another 20% which is more enigmatic, something that the artist himself cannot explain. An artist may be called so when he is able to turn this 20% into something, to translate it to other people and to show them what his talent is telling him to do.

And this is what Borissov did in this amazing piece of art, which is at the same time both simple and deep. But he is utterly aware of this ambiguity and we may understand it from the shape itself. If the face were not lighted, we could not be able to tell if it were a man or a woman's shape; but Borissov reveals us this wonderful visage and, with a touch of noir (an almost-Sin City mood) he made one of the most charming portrait I've ever seen. Simply beautiful.

My brain cannot comprehend how a photo of a woman can be so simple, but so beautiful. Very reminiscent of film noir. :rose:
