AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This striking painting by Belle Doxx depicts an iconic, almost sacred figure with an expressive and emotionally charged face. The spiky crown around the head evokes associations with mythological and religious iconography, where suffering, power, and transcendence converge. The work deliberately balances between sacred iconography and contemporary emotion.

The tears, the blood-red color around the eyes, and the downward-turned mouth suggest pain, mourning, and inner struggle. The eyes once again serve as a central symbol: they refer to seeing and being seen, but also to vulnerability and moral tension. The cross-shaped mark on the body reinforces the reference to sacrifice, faith, and existential questions.

The bright orange of the background contrasts sharply with the dark body and creates an intense visual effect that immediately makes the work stand out. Belle Doxx's characteristic style, with bold lines, simplified forms, and a raw, almost primitive aesthetic, makes the piece both direct and layered.

In her body of work, Belle Doxx regularly combines mythological and religious motifs with contemporary emotions and social tensions. This unique, hand-signed painting is a pronounced statement piece and a valuable addition to a collection of contemporary symbolic art.

Seller's Story

Born in the artist town of Bergen NH, the Netherlands, where creativity flows through the streets, she grew up with art in her veins. But this young female artist didn’t choose the beaten path. She’s rebellious, raw, and channels her life experiences straight onto the canvas. What she’s been through, the rough, the unfiltered, the real comes alive in her work. And it resonates. Her expressive style and unapologetic vision haven't gone unnoticed. She collaborated with iconic Amsterdam-based fashion brand In Gold We Trust and the bold LA-based label Rose In Good Faith. Even the tour merchandise for global star Machine Gun Kelly was born from her creative mind. Her work has been showcased at major art fairs like KunstRAI Amsterdam and NockNock, and she's now represented by several respected galleries, both in the Netherlands and beyond. Her name is echoing louder and louder in the international art scene. She’s multi talented, not only as a visual artist, but also in her deep academic and technical exploration of art. Alongside her painting, she has completed various part-time programs, including a postgraduate degree in Art History and classical drawing courses rooted in the Baroque method. This fusion of raw emotion and historical knowledge gives her work a rare and powerful depth. Beyond her raw, abstract figures, she also dares to paint herself, literally. Her nude oil self-portraits are powerful, vulnerable, and captivating, earning her features in both Playboy Netherlands and Germany. This artist isn't a trend, she's a movement. And her work is more than just a visual statement for your home; it's a smart investment in a rising talent on the verge of lasting recognition. Interested? Shipping is flexible. Larger canvases can be sent rolled to reduce costs. Everything is arranged through personal consultation, just like the art itself.
