Original artwork description
This painting unfolds like a quiet paradox: motion inside stillness, elegance inside a maze. A slender female figure dressed entirely in black steps forward with measured confidence, her long white hair animated by an unseen current. The contrast is deliberate and magnetic — black against light stone walls, softness against geometry, intuition against structure.
The architectural setting resembles a labyrinth or fortified corridor, suggesting boundaries, systems, or internal constraints. Yet the protagonist does not appear trapped. Her posture, stride, and calm gaze communicate agency rather than escape. She moves through the space, not against it. The checkerboard floor beneath her feet evokes strategic play, choice, and consequence — each step a decision already owned.
A black cat peers from behind the wall, its amber eyes alert and knowing. More than a companion, it acts as a symbolic witness: intuition, instinct, and silent intelligence accompanying the journey. The bare tree above the wall introduces an element of existential tension — a reminder of time, memory, and cycles — while the sky remains open and breathable.
This artwork invites the viewer to project themselves into the narrative. It does not dictate meaning; instead, it creates psychological space for recognition. Collectors drawn to symbolic realism and contemporary figurative painting will recognize a rare balance here: visual precision paired with emotional ambiguity, making the work endlessly revisitable.
Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam tm and Italian canvas by Unico were used. The finish is satin varnish, and the edges are painted in the background color. This painting is created on a pre-stretched canvas on a wooden frame. It is carefully packed in a cardboard box with layers of bubble wrap. The artwork is signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
