L'aqua Beauty Acrylic on canvas
42 x 21 in
This
painting is second in the series of collectible “Beauty” paintings. The
mythological theme of the women represents the nature itself. The main
subject borrows the universal theme of mythical female figures with hair
adorned with flowers and facial perfection though the painter did not
refer to any specific literary sources.
The
principle sensation derived from this composition is of an abstracted
romanticism reflected in curvilinear and plainer approximation of the
feminine anatomy and in the pale skin colour emanating a tender rose and
bluish aura. .
It shows a
women sleeping on a flower-covered pillow with blue silver surroundings.
Her head rests on the pillow in tranquillity. Her face is turned towards
the viewer and her eyes are closed. Her face is of immaculate purity and
her features are young and soft. A rhythmic series of curved lines in
the hair and face gives an exquisite elegance and grace. Her unusually
shaped long hair adorned with flowers exhibits non-mortal qualities of
the subject. Some of the gold leaves on the right side painted
highlighted with 24-k gold paint add conspicuously a luxurious touch..
The artist
invested in moral qualities to create a face that personify her notion
of purity of our water resources. Her eyes are closed at the viewer
revealing an expression of understanding of the condition that appears
around her, thus the viewer becomes the subject of her attention in a
moment of self consciousness and role reversal.
