This work plays with the intersection between the classical and the contemporary. The pose evokes paintings from past eras, but the radical hairstyle and the character’s attitude disrupt that initial reading. There is a sense of rebellion, but also of dignity. As if this woman — outside the canon, outside of time — claims her place without flamboyance, only with her presence. The figure does not seek to please, but to assert. It is a portrait of strength, of identity embraced. In a small format, the painting holds a contained energy that expands from the gesture and the color.
