Pastel Nudes III by Ivan Tverdun is a contemporary pastel on paper, executed from life and filled with emotional sensitivity. The drawing explores the nude as a visual and emotional form — abstracted, delicate, and expressive. A standing female figure, rendered in soft layers of blue, pink, lilac, and coral, appears suspended in her own quiet world.

Tverdun’s approach fuses fine linework with cloudlike colour blending, giving the body weight and atmosphere. The lack of background detail draws focus entirely to the figure’s interiority — her tilted head and enigmatic expression offering both presence and mystery. The pastel’s physical softness enhances the emotional tone, making this a deeply intimate and painterly work.

Part of a growing series of life-based nude studies, this artwork is an excellent example of Ivan Tverdun’s ability to combine academic drawing with expressive modernism.

Ivan Tverdun (b. 1961) is a professional Ukrainian painter and draftsman based in Lviv, Ukraine. He graduated from the Lviv College of Decorative and Applied Art named after Ivan Trush in 1980 and from the Lviv Academy of Arts in 1985. Since 1995, he has been a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.

Tverdun’s artistic practice spans a wide range of styles and media. His early works reflect a strong interest in symbolism, esoteric themes, and philosophical reflection. To balance this intellectual focus, he often turned to plein air painting—a way to engage directly with nature and “clear the mind,” as he describes it.

In recent years, Tverdun has concentrated on vivid, expressive landscapes and cityscapes in oil, marked by bold colour and post-impressionistic energy. At the same time, he continues to develop a parallel body of pastel works—particularly nudes and portraits—demonstrating his strong command of line and emotional nuance. Across all genres, his work reveals a deep sensitivity to light, atmosphere, and human presence.

Recognised for his distinctive style and emotional immediacy, Ivan Tverdun is considered an established figure within the Ukrainian contemporary art scene. His works are held in private collections across Ukraine, Europe, and beyond, and he is represented by several galleries in Ukraine and Poland. He has participated in numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including in the United States, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, and Germany.
