Original Hyperrealism Oil Painting
48 x 60 inches | Oil on Canvas | $5,200
Payment plans available at checkout via Klarna.
This 48 x 60 inch hyperrealistic oil painting is the first in Kayla Carlile’s newest body of work — a deeper, more refined pursuit of realism and scale. It includes a signed palette stamp certiciate of authenticity.
Kayla’s first underwater portrait, “Hold”, was an emotional attempt to replicate a reality of equal intensity to a specific feeling: the feeling of holding one’s breath while crying. She wanted to capture the sensation of feeling underwater- the ringing in your ears, the lack of oxygen that almost dances along the threshold of pleasure. A feeling of complete pause, and complete inner silence. A moment of truly allowing yourself to feel the emotion of sadness- to float in it, shutting out the outside world completely. Kayla quickly fell in love with the challenge of combining her love for portraiture with painting the ripples, bubbles, and reflections of being underwater, ultimately leading her to her underwater portrait series.
Due to the substantial size of this original 48 x 60 inch canvas, the painting will be carefully removed from its stretcher bars and shipped rolled. This method ensures safe, cost-effective delivery while preserving the integrity of the artwork. A local professional framer can easily reassemble and re-stretch the piece on stretcher bars upon arrival.
