Original artwork description:

The spectacular is within.
This painting explores a color as Identity. The hair, being the most vividly colored part, represents the subject's personality, thoughts, and inner world. It suggests that what lies beneath the surface is a magnificent, vibrant kaleidoscope of experiences and emotions, bursting with life. The painting celebrates the uncontained nature of human spirit, even when outwardly restrained, like hair tied in a ponytail. It says: The spectacular is within.
The painting is dominated by its intense texture and vibrant, high-key colors. The subject's hair, pulled back into a ponytail, is the visual centerpiece, exploding with thick daubs of yellow, orange, turquoise, purple, and deep brown. These colors are applied in distinct, chunky strokes that give the hair a physical, almost sculpted quality. The figure's neck and shoulder are rendered in softer, more blended tones of skin color, while her garment introduces strokes of magenta and white, creating a subtle transition between the figure and the atmosphere.
