Oil on board | 22×27cm | 2024
Original oil painting by Santi Pina
The Wink is an intimate close-up of a female face, cropped just above the eyes. The composition focuses on subtlety: the trace of a smirk, the soft outline of a cheek, and the gentle suggestion of a bare shoulder entering the frame. It’s a portrait defined not by what it shows, but by what it withholds.
The absence of the eyes creates tension, it denies the viewer the usual emotional cues, forcing attention on gesture, line, and implication. The title, The Wink, becomes almost ironic. Is she winking? Teasing? Hiding? The image plays with ambiguity and flirtation, inviting projection but never confirming intention.
The result is a portrait that is at once intimate and elusive, a study in restrained seduction and the quiet power of partial revelation.
