In this piece, I've captured a blend of realism and symbolism using acrylic, focusing on the textured depth and emotional resonance. The subject wears yellow leather gloves, symbolizing protection and delicacy, contrasting against the luxurious, dark fabric of her dress. Her poised, reflective demeanor and the ornate pearl necklace suggest a narrative of elegance and strength. The gold leaf background not only adds rich vibrancy but also elevates her, as if she's illuminated by her own historical importance. This piece speaks to the timeless grace and complex inner lives of those who inspire us. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with the detailed textures, aims to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection in the viewer. For texture before painting, a layer of textured paste with small glass particles is applied and then sanded. Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam and Italian canvas tm Unico were used. Finish - satin varnish. Ends are painted. Series "Life in Avatar".
