Oil Portrait of a Young Black Man in a Boardroom

An oil painting of a young Black man seated at a polished wooden conference table inside a corporate boardroom. He wears a tailored navy suit, crisp white shirt, and a dark tie. The scene is rendered with thick brushstrokes and rich impasto, emphasizing warm earth tones—amber, ochre, and deep browns—with cool blues in the suit. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting creates strong contrast: a soft window light on one side, casting gentle shadows across his thoughtful face as he glances at documents, a laptop, and a coffee mug nearby. The glass walls and projector glow in the background add depth, reflections on the table surface, and a painterly texture that conveys dignity, focus, and a moment of decision.
