About the artwork

Imagine a visually intriguing painting centred on a woman as a black silhouette, looking at a mesmerising sunset. The artwork is composed of a dynamic composition of round shapes and fluid movements that are reflected in both the sun's setting and the woman's hair.

The woman, rendered in black silhouette, almost seems to float in this dim atmosphere, her contours elegant and flowing. Her hair is a lush burst of round shapes and dynamic lines, beautifully complementing the movement of the sun's setting. These circular movements are also subtly reflected in the sun itself, which appears on the canvas as a vibrant, spinning disc of orange and yellow, radiating a warm glow.

The painting's colour scheme consists of a harmonious mix of deep blue, vibrant orange and intense black. The blue background brings a sense of depth and coolness, making the fiery orange hues of the sun appear even brighter and more impressive. The black of the woman and silhouettes forms a powerful contrast to the bright colours of the sun and sky, emphasising details and movements.

The rounded shapes and movements in the painting create a sense of flow and continuity, as if the woman and the sun enter into a rhythmic interplay. This artwork captures not only the visual splendour of a sunset, but also the poetic movement and harmony between the elements, offering a powerful and emotional experience. It is an ode to the beauty of dusk, captured in a cyclical and dynamic visual narrative.
