Analysis

The portrait presents Shtefke Batic with lace, which is caught with the right hand on the top edge and the bottom adhere left hand. The painting is part of a series of portraits of Veno Pilon, he portrays friends, relatives and loved ones. With them he enters own new period, going from expressionism to a new reality. The colors are dark, unclear, and the overall feel of the image is static, even still. At the same time, his work marks a new emphasis on volume and with a clear purpose paints everyday life. His portraits express peace.
