About this artwork
Study on figure-ground perception.
The shadow of a woman emerges from the background and simple features allow us to intuit the complete figure.
It is a metaphor of the iceberg that we enclose in each one of us and of which only a tiny fraction can be seen.
This is a reverse abstraction process. The background is painted in its entirety and then hidden to reveal only the silhouette part of the shadow.
It is a 100x70 canvas framed in a 105x73.5… cm matte white painted wooden frame.

« I explore the essence of art and am intrigued by the "why" of works that last over time, as well as the why of those that fall into oblivion. »
Begoña Lafuente is a painter and illustrator based in the Netherlands whose works have been widely exhibited internationally, as well as in Spain. For her, art is a timeless conversation where not everything is said and "the essential is diluted." Lafuente describes her works as a game of combinations that combines materials, textures and colors, improvising new routes for the senses. In addition, she integrates movement and contrast in her compositions to cultivate visual and emotional tension.
