The concise monochrome roughness of the canvas dominated by the sketchy foundation creates a sense of cinematic vision. The artist focuses on the light tone and conditionally splits the canvas leaving a lily-white space behind the cropped female figure, thus underlying the neo-minimalism style of the image. Anastasia skillfully plays with luminosity, uses meticulous tonal vibrations and manages to convey all the subtle aspects of the canvas space.
