ABOUT THE PAINTING
The painting depicts the silhouette of a dancer in an abstract and contemporary style. The figure is represented in dark tones, almost black, contrasting with a light, textured background in beige, gray, and white nuances.

The dancer appears to be in motion, possibly performing a delicate step, with one leg extended and the body slightly inclined. The hair is tied in a high bun, reinforcing the classic image of ballet. The dress resembles a voluminous tutu, its shape suggested by broad and expressive brushstrokes.

The style is markedly abstract, with visible brushstrokes, splatters and vertical paint-running effects, which create a sense of dynamism and emotion. The composition conveys elegance, lightness and, at the same time, artistic intensity, combining delicacy with strong, textured strokes.
