Henni Alftan — Still Water
Henni Alftan

Still Water

2017

A solitary figure stands before a calm, reflective body of water in this intimate oil painting by Finnish-French artist Henni Alftan. The composition is rendered in Alftan's signature style of quiet realism, with smooth, precise brushwork and a muted, contemplative palette that evokes a sense of stillness and suspended time. The scene invites the viewer into a moment of private introspection, where the boundary between the figure and their surroundings feels both immediate and elusive.
