Original artwork description:

In this piece, I join a growing contemporary trend of artists revisiting the figure of the dancer —a motif immortalized by Edgar Degas and now reinterpreted through diverse modern lenses. Rather than capturing a realistic pose or setting, I aim to dissolve the dancer into pure emotion, gesture, and color.

The tutu made of gauze remains —bold, bright, and central— as a symbol of discipline and grace, but the body becomes elusive, merging with an atmospheric background of abstract brushstrokes. The traditional form is deconstructed, not erased, evoking the fleeting nature of movement and memory.
By abstracting the form, I invite the viewer to feel rather than see, to recognize essence over appearance.

About
As an artist, I find my creative expression balanced between the fluidity of watercolor and the boldness of acrylic. My watercolor pieces embody a delicate blend of realism and abstraction.... Read more
