Description: This painting presents a frontal, life-sized female torso, rendered with expressive, layered brushwork. The figure appears veiled by an intricate network of white, floral patterns that imitate transparent fabric, creating the illusion of a delicate textile floating over the body. Beneath this translucent layer, the skin is built up with raw, organic tones—reds, greys, greens, and yellows—suggesting veins, bruises, and emotional traces rather than idealized flesh. The red background intensifies the contrast, reinforcing a sense of exposure and tension between concealment and revelation. The interplay between body and “fabric” blurs the boundary between protection and vulnerability. The transparent pattern neither fully hides nor decorates the figure; instead, it emphasizes the corporeal presence and psychological depth of the subject. The work confronts themes of intimacy, identity, and the fragile relationship between the body and the gaze of the viewer. This painting stands as a powerful contemporary figurative work, combining physical immediacy with symbolic subtlety. _ woman 25012026 - original acrylic & oil on canvas - Straight from my studio - Signature on the painting and the back - The invoice and certificate will be sent - The shipment is rolled! - Matching stretcher frame in size: W100cm x H140cm x D2cm - This auction is without a stretcher! __________________________________________________________________
