Heart Transplant, Hyacinth (Study)

This original oil painting is a serene portrait study from acclaimed artist Charlie Kirkham’s  Heart Painted Heroes series. Executed in a violet oil palette on a museum-grade artist surfaces studio wooden panel, the work captures a quiet, introspective moment with one of the series’ models. This is a celebration of life after organ transplantation. 

The figure appears contemplative and at peace, her face rendered with the barest, most economical marks needed to convey expression and presence. A luminous sash brings a soft glow of light across the composition, while the delicate flower element woven into her hair serves as a poignant symbol of a lost friend, woven into the painting.
