ANNA
Original Contemporary Portrait | Christopher Miles
£599.00
Oil on reclaimed wood | 25 × 17 inches (approx. 63.5 × 43 cm)
Artwork Description
ANNA is a striking contemporary portrait exploring vulnerability, defiance and the beauty of imperfection.
Painted in oils across a patchwork of reclaimed wooden panels, the work captures a moment of quiet introspection. Anna’s piercing gaze confronts the viewer, while her resting hand and cigarette introduce a sense of intimacy, rebellion and understated melancholy.
Bold, expressive brushstrokes combine muted greys, warm ochres, deep charcoal and flashes of crimson to create a portrait that feels both raw and deeply human.
The reclaimed wooden surface is integral to the composition. Visible joins, irregular textures and fragments of exposed wood interrupt the image, creating a compelling tension between the fragmented surface and the emotional presence of the subject.
A celebration of unconventional beauty and imperfect humanity, ANNA invites the viewer to look beyond the surface and imagine the story behind the gaze.
Presented in a contrasting black frame, this one-of-a-kind original brings a distinctive, contemporary edge to any collection.

A Note from the Artist
“My portraits explore the characters, contradictions and imperfections that make us human. With ANNA, I wanted to capture something beyond a likeness: a sense of attitude, vulnerability and an untold story. The reclaimed wood adds its own history to the painting, making the surface as individual as the person depicted.”
