Original artwork description:

In this painting, I sought to capture not just a naked body, but the inner tension between two female figures—as a reflection and as reality. Their poses contrast: one dissolves in the softness of her gesture, in the shadows, as if withdrawing into herself, while the other stands ahead, illuminated, filled with confidence and vital energy.

I deliberately avoided striving for anatomical precision—the brushstrokes were meant to remain vibrant, emotional, conveying the breath of the moment. Light and shadow here function as instruments of internal dialogue: golden reflections enliven the skin, and the dark background with geometric fragments seems to symbolize the chaos of thoughts from which sensuality is born.

For me, this painting is not simply a study of the body, but a meditation on feminine nature: its duality, vulnerability, and strength. In every turn of the body, in every reflection, there is an attempt to capture that moment when beauty ceases to be external and becomes a state of mind.
