- Dance of the Soul
Original artwork description
When I created this painting, my goal was to capture a single, explosive moment where the dancer’s soul bursts forth through motion. The flamenco dancer’s pose is intense yet graceful—her body language telling a story of passion, strength, and vulnerability. I deliberately used a rough, textured background to isolate and elevate her movement, applying palette knife strokes and dry brushing to create a sense of rhythm and energy, almost as if you can hear the rustle of her dress.
I chose cool whites and blues for her costume to contrast the heat of her gesture, enhancing the emotional tension in the scene. This isn’t just a dance—it’s the embodiment of spirit in motion, a moment where her entire being is set ablaze through a single, expressive gesture.
