Masked Female Figure in Oasis

Charcoal and acrylics
by Pantelis Melissinos
Athens 1990’s

Masked Female Figure in Oasis by Pantelis Melissinos combines charcoal and acrylics with strong expressive force. The female figure, partly hidden behind a geometric mask, appears mysterious, almost ritualistic.

The red background gives the composition passion and dramatic intensity, while the black charcoal lines create movement, tension, and depth. The figure is not merely a portrait, but a symbol of hidden identity, memory, and inner life.

The “oasis” works more poetically than literally: a place of imagination, desire, and inner refuge. The work balances the archaic, the cubist, and the dreamlike, creating an image of striking personality and enigmatic charm.
