Blue Hamsa Hand with Protective Eye Painting - Protective Vigil - Hamsa Hand Edition

The visual

The composition unfolds a palette of navy blue and mother-of-pearl white worked in thick touches of material that give a sculptural relief. In the center, a large turquoise blue eye rimmed with black immediately catches the eye, framed by floral motifs in white and blue reminiscent of traditional ceramics. White pearls and turquoise cabochons, highlighted with golden lines, border the contours of the hand and create an inlaid jewelry effect. Light glides over the paint impasto, revealing pearlescent reflections and soft shadows between each motif. The background, in shades of light blue and white, extends the movement of the motifs without ever distracting from the central subject. The whole thing plays on the contrast between the fluidity of the blue curves and the grainy texture of the paint. This work combines a strong symbolism with a resolutely contemporary pictorial style.
