Original artwork description:

Salome is an elongated painting painted in acrylic on a cotton canvas stretched over wood.

In the New Testament, Salomé is the first name of Herod's daughter. The name is said to come from the Hebrew "shalom" meaning "peace".

Set against a background of shades of ultramarine blue, Salomé is a slender woman with a peaceful face and clear eyes, wearing a long tunic with golden reflections and abstract motifs in relief created with a knife, sometimes scratched with black shadows. On her head she wears a turban with olive-green highlights, rolled up like a whipped cream arabesque.
