About this work
A woman's bust fills the frame, her head tilted and eyes closed, dark hair streaked with green and teal swirling around her face. Her shoulders and one raised arm are rendered in broad slabs of orange, with patches of red, yellow and dark green scattered across the lower canvas suggesting fabric or foliage at her side.
The painting is dominated by hot oranges and reds, applied in thick, gouged strokes with a palette knife that leaves visible ridges and edges across the surface. Cooler teal and green accents cut through the warm ground, heightening the sense of heat and movement. The loose, unblended handling gives the figure a smoldering, flame-like intensity and restless energy.
