- The golden egg
Original artwork description
In this 16x20-inch canvas, a sense of quietude and mystery unfolds through a lens of soft Cubism. A woman is seated upon a turquoise sofa, her form reclining with an effortless grace that anchors the composition. While the influence of Cubism is evident in the subtle shifting of planes and the slight overlapping of her features, she remains far from fragmented; instead, her body possesses a rhythmic, sculptural quality that feels both modern and timeless. She is draped in a vibrant dress, a chaotic yet harmonious tapestry of geometric figures and recurring motifs that resemble watchful eyes. These printed eyes seem to pulse against the turquoise fabric of the sofa, creating a surreal dialogue between the woman’s garment and the space she occupies.
Cradled in her lap is a singular, brilliant golden egg. She holds it with a protective, maternal gesture, her hands curved gently around its polished surface as if shielding a precious secret or a nascent world. The gold of the egg catches an unseen light, acting as the spiritual heart of the painting. Her face, though rendered with the gentle angularity of the Cubist style, radiates an overwhelming sense of peace. Rather than looking at the treasure in her lap, she tilts her head upward, her serene gaze fixed toward the upper corner of the canvas as if she is witnessing a private epiphany or a distant, silent melody.
The background, washed in a saturated yellow that feels like trapped sunlight. This expanse of gold-yellow is not empty, however; it is meticulously dotted with rectangular motifs that float across the surface like architectural fragments or suspended golden bricks.
