Crowd (2008) Peinture par Aleksandra Filli

This work was created in a mixed technique, using pastels and charcoal on paper. The style is expressive and somewhat chaotic than accurately rendered.
The dominant feature is a large central mass, depicted as a set of rounded shapes, differing in shades of brown, reddish brown, dark gray and black. These shapes overlap and intertwine, creating a sense of depth and density. They resemble a pile of something, perhaps rocks, pebbles, or even clusters of people in the distance. The main theme is a crowd of people as a single mass
The lighter area above this main mass resembles the sky or an element of the atmosphere. It is represented by pale gray and blue tones with barely noticeable shades of warmer colors, creating the effect of haze or clouds. There is a hint of a pale yellow or orange shape at the top, which can be interpreted as sunlight or a distant element.
The edges and background are also filled with small rounded shapes similar to those in the central part, suggesting a continuation of the theme or environment. The overall texture is rough and uneven, reflecting the mixed media used.
A feeling of heaviness, density, and perhaps mystery or depression, depending on the viewer's interpretation. My feeling of a crowd and an unruly mass. The fear of being crushed. The contrast between the dark central mass and the hazy upper region enhances this effect.

PS:The work was displayed on the tablet; there are traces of paper on the back
