About the artwork

This haunting portrait shows a woman with elaborate make-up, her mouth covered with a white cloth, conveying a sense of stillness and perhaps oppression. Her gaze is directed upwards, suggesting a mixture of hope, longing or inner contemplation. The composition is enhanced by the reflection of the woman in a mirrored surface, possibly glass or water, which provides a second, slightly blurred perspective. This reflection adds a layer of complexity and invites the viewer to reflect on identity, perception and the hidden aspects of the self. The woman's make-up, particularly the dramatic eye lines and striking colours, is reminiscent of traditional or theatrical styles, enhancing her expressiveness despite the covered mouth. The colour palette is muted, with dominant blues and purples creating a melancholic or pensive mood. The lighting is subtle, emphasising the contours of the face and the texture of the cloth. The woman's hand gently touching the reflective surface enhances the emotional depth of the image and creates a connection between the real figure and her reflection. The artwork is a powerful depiction of vulnerability and strength, of what can be said and what remains unsaid. It encourages reflection on communication, expression and the inner worlds we often hide.
