- A tambourine moon
Original artwork description
In this 16x20-inch composition, the boundary between the earthly and the celestial dissolves into a vibrant, stylized dreamscape. A woman is positioned in a sharp profile, her silhouette rendered with a steady, rhythmic grace that echoes the elegance of an ancient temple relief. She stands as the primary focal point, her skin a warm, tawny hue that contrasts beautifully against a vividly patterned dress. The garment serves as a mosaic of saturated colors,
Her face is a masterwork of cross-cultural influence, blending naturalism with symbolic artistry. While her profile is carved with soft lines, her eye is painted in an unmistakable Ancient Egyptian style. It is elongated with a bold, kohl-like outline of black pigment that extends toward the temple—an "all-seeing" eye that is wide and knowing, yet her overall expression remains one of profound serenity. She gazes toward the edge of the painting, looking past the frame at something unseen, her stillness grounding the swirling energy of the scene.
Raised high in her hands is a large tambourine, its circular frame spanning a significant portion of the upper canvas. However, the artist has blurred the lines of reality so that the instrument becomes a celestial body. The skin of the tambourine is not animal hide but a luminous, cratered surface of pearlescent whites and soft greys. It glows with an internal light, transforming the object into a full moon suspended in the night sky. She holds it not as if she is about to strike it for sound, but as if she is offering it to the heavens or steadying the cosmos itself with her fingertips.
The background rejects traditional perspective in favor of a flat, decorative richness that feels like an enchanted tapestry. The space surrounding her is densely filled with stylized motifs that evoke a mythic garden. The entire painting serves as a window into a silent, rhythmic world where a woman and the moon are one and the same.
