About this artwork

The work I created is a visual representation that plays with light and shadows to create a fascinating illusion. In this work I wanted to represent the beauty of the woman born from the shadow of a rose. The strategically positioned light projects the image of a dancer captured in a moment of grace and naturalness onto the wall.
The floor and background are splashed with red and green spots, which add an element of spontaneity and dynamism to the… entire composition, suggesting a natural setting or an almost dreamlike scene.
With this painting, I wanted to explore the theme of transformation and perception. The shadow of the rose that becomes a ballerina represents the power of light to transform and reveal new perspectives, challenging the expectations of the observer. I wanted to evoke the beauty hidden in everyday details and the magic that can emerge when we look at things from a different angle.
