Consideration

Consideration by Barbara Storey is a haunting and emotionally charged portrait that explores themes of silence, vulnerability, and inner conflict. Rendered in pastel and reproduced on fine art paper, the composition centers on a figure with intense, searching eyes partially obscured by a clenched hand—creating a powerful sense of emotional tension and ambiguity.

Storey’s expressive use of color and texture infuses the portrait with raw emotion. The smoky blue-gray background and bruised tones in the face and hands suggest sorrow, contemplation, or perhaps trauma, while the painterly treatment softens the boundaries between the figure and their surroundings. Consideration evokes the quiet but heavy moments of thought, grief, or self-restraint—making it a compelling addition to any collection of psychologically resonant or figurative contemporary art.
