Marie France

22.5 x 24.5 , Acrylic on canvas , wood frame 
Quiet, poised, and impossibly light.
In "Marie France", Kenny Schneider distills portraiture down to its most delicate essentials. With a soft, peach-toned canvas as the backdrop, Schneider conjures a near-spectral presence using minimal, flowing lines. The face—composed of a few precise gestures—floats gently, almost unsure of its own arrival. Just a hint of collar, a wisp of chair, and the bare suggestion of form ground the figure in space, yet she feels as though she could dissolve at any moment.
Balancing restraint with vulnerability, "Marie France" is a meditation on memory, impermanence, and the intimacy of recognition. There's something cinematic about her—like a frame from a forgotten film, paused in soft focus.
This painting is perfect for collectors drawn to minimalism, quiet expression, and the beauty of what’s left unsaid.
