The Pearl Girl (2025)Mixed-media painting by Suzette Datema

In creating this painting, I explored the delicate balance of emotion and simplicity. I utilized a blend of acrylics, oil, and India ink to achieve deep, resonant tones and textures, while the style combines figurative elements with minimalism and a touch of naivety. Here, the subject's piercing gaze and the vibrant blue of her headscarf capture a moment of silent introspection and a timeless elegance. This piece invites the viewer into a quiet, contemplative space, resonating with a powerful yet gentle energy that enriches any room it adorns.
