Floare de lotus

About this work

This painting shows a woman with long arms stretched wide, holding a mirror in one hand. She’s wearing a blue skirt with yellow flowers and a red sash, and her hair is styled high with gold jewelry. Behind her, the sky is covered in swirling, colorful shapes that look like leaves or flowers. Two other women appear on the sides, one in red and the other in green, but their faces are blurred. The woman’s pose and the mirror suggest she might be checking her reflection, but the background feels dreamlike. The bright colors and bold lines make the scene feel both bold and a little strange. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create drama.
