About this work

This painting shows a blue-skinned figure with a fierce expression, standing on a swirling, colorful background. The figure’s face is marked with white patterns, and it wears a white skirt with red trim. Around them, bright ribbons and flames twist in the air, while small animals peek from the edges. The figure’s raised arms and wild hair suggest movement, even though the scene is still. The colors—deep blues, fiery reds, and golds—create a sense of energy and chaos. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
