Description

A contemporary mixed media painting on stretched canvas depicting a woman in profile with her eyes closed, heavily influenced by the iconography of Frida Kahlo. The subject is shown with a prominent headdress of multi-coloured flowers, including shades of rose, ochre, and cerulean, rendered in heavy impasto. These floral elements are further accented with applications of gold-toned metallic leaf. The background consists of a textured metallic gold field interspersed with gestural, pale green palm fronds. The subject wears a garment featuring intricate geometric patterning in shades of blue, green, and orange, which appears to be executed through a combination of collage or decoupage and paint, highlighted with gold-toned accents. The brushwork shows a distinct contrast between the smooth, blended tones of the subject’s skin and the thick, sculptural application of media in the headdress. No signatures, dates, or maker marks are visible on the face of the canvas.

Measurement: 80 x 100 CM
