This captivating painting invites the viewer into a scene of surreal stillness and quiet rebellion. A woman with platinum-blonde hair, dressed in velvety dark tones and a tilted fedora, meets our gaze with calm confidence. She sits poised beside a stark black table, where a cigarette smolders in a crystal ashtray, flanked by a can of Coca-Cola and a pack of Marlboro — icons of cool defiance and contemporary myth.
Behind her, a dramatic red curtain flows like theatre drapery, evoking mystery and intimacy. A single cloud floats in a framed canvas-within-canvas, suggesting a dream suspended in time. The composition fuses pop culture with the language of classical portraiture, balancing sensual tension and modern solitude.
The work subtly whispers of cinematic narratives — from noir nostalgia to existential freedom — encouraging the viewer to construct their own emotional script. It doesn’t just portray a figure; it becomes a mirror to inner states, tapping into memory, identity, and desire.
Ideal for collectors who value conceptually rich, emotionally engaging realism.
Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam tm and Italian fine-grained 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.
