Information About Artwork

This striking South African oil on canvas portrait showcases a woman, viewed from behind, her long, dark hair cascading down her back. She is adorned in a vibrant red and gold headscarf, richly detailed with intricate patterns, and a teal garment. The artist's masterful use of oil paint creates a sense of texture and depth, particularly evident in the woman's hair and the fabric of her clothing. The background features a stylized, almost Art Deco-inspired border of gold and silver floral motifs, adding a layer of sophistication and contrast to the teal backdrop. Two geometric symbols flank the figure, enhancing the artwork’s unique visual language. The overall effect is both modern and evocative, capturing a sense of cultural identity and personal strength. The artwork measures 110x90x1 cm (Height/Width/Depth). This Oil Painting on Canvas is a unique piece of Figurative art available for purchase.
