Description
A striking figurative work built on a dramatic, warm contrast against a dark background. The lower part of the painting employs a textured technique of dripping and pouring paint, which faithfully evokes the wildness and texture of a blazing fire. The portrait of the woman conveys a strong sense of dynamism thanks to her reclined pose and the bold lines of her eyebrows and eyelashes. The interplay of warm tones on her face creates the illusion that the figure is being directly illuminated by the heat of the flames.
