ArtistA striking example of semi-figurative minimalism, where the subject is defined not by detail, but by the physical rhythm of the medium. It captures a fleeting moment of stillness through bold, confident gestures. Composition and Form The Figure: A woman is rendered in a seated posture, though her body is more a suggestion than a literal representation. By omitting facial features, the artist elevates the figure from an individual to a universal symbol of quietude and interiority. The Garment: The voluminous blue dress dominates the lower two-thirds of the frame. Thick, sweeping strokes of cerulean and sky blue create a sense of structure and weight, suggesting fabric through movement rather than line. Negative Space: The stark, off-white background acts as a "meditative plane." It isolates the figure, forcing a direct confrontation with the silence of the work. Technique and Texture Gestural Brushwork: You can see the "cadence of the brush" in every mark. The strokes are unblended and raw, revealing the speed and intent of the artist. Palette: The color story is restrained and harmonious. The cool blues of the dress are grounded by the warm, earthy reddish-brown of the hair and the subtle ochre/yellow accents at the base, which provide a sense of "weight" and foundation. Impasto Elements: The paint appears to have a tactile density, particularly in the highlights of the dress. This "tinta, tinta, e mais tinta" (paint, paint, and more paint) approach gives the ethereal figure a surprising sense of permanence
A dark-skinned woman with a straight face and hair pulled back into a bun modeling a royal blue sleeveless dress in a studio with a tan background, looking directly at the camera. The dress features a high neckline, a fitted bodice with panel details, a defined waist, and a wide, pleated skirt that cascades around her as she sits on the floor. The fabric of the dress has a smooth, matte finish, and there are folds and shadows created by the draping of the skirt, emphasizing its volume and flow.
