This is one of my new painting series, Women: Cracked. Each oil painting features the face of one or more women, split up over several canvases, which can be shown as a cohesive whole (such as “Nini in Prague”) or split up in provocative ways (such as “Armenian Shushi Bride”). Most of the women are real people I’ve met in my travels, but some come from images I collected from postcards, or are a homage to painters I’ve come across during my stays in Armenia, Georgia and Croatia.

To find out more about these women, click on the thumbnails of the portraits above – you’ll get a larger size view and the story behind the painting.

All paintings are for sale, please contact me at leah.kohlenberg@gmail.com if you are interested, or go to my website, www.leahkohlenberg.com, to see more of my latest work.
