About the artwork

"Interwoven Shadows"

This artwork depicts a woman from an intimate perspective, seen from the back. Her raised hair and the dark top of her dress create a powerful silhouette against a soft, light indigo blue gradient that transitions from top to bottom. The contrast between the deep, black tones at the top and the airy, translucent texture at the bottom of her dress plays with the idea of duality-between light and dark, between solidity and transparency.

Her arms are covered with light, horizontal, translucent stripes that seem to lie over her skin like a subtle, almost ethereal layer. These lines, together with the thin vertical lines at the bottom of her skirt, enhance the grace and elegance of her pose, while evoking a sense of movement and lightness. The skirt itself seems to consist of a translucent textile, which appears almost ethereal, giving the impression that the woman is in a space between reality and dreams.

The title "Interwoven Shadows" refers to the way light and shadow play through the work, seeming to embrace and intertwine. The shadows of her silhouette are literally interwoven with the lines of her dress, forming both a separation and a connection between the woman and her surroundings. The work exudes an understated mystery, as if the woman is not just a physical form, but a moment caught in time, in which light and shadow intertwine her identity. Modern Abstract. Sober. Linen.
