Description from the seller
A three-quarter portrait of a woman, painted with a spatula technique (thick impasto) on canvas. The figure, with long dark wavy hair, is depicted in three-quarters with her gaze turned to the side, wearing a green dress that leaves the shoulders bare. The woman emerges from a lush field of sunflowers, rendered with textural brushstrokes and vivid hues of yellow, orange, and green, occupying the lower part of the composition. In the background, a blue sky crossed by white clouds, also painted with thickness, in contrast with the deep dark tones of the hair and the dress’s background.
The paste-like use of color and the tactile reliefs typical of the spatula technique give the work a strong tactile three-dimensionality, while the subject — suspended between a classic portrait and floral symbolism — evokes the sunflower imagery as an emblem of warmth, vitality, and summer light.
