Golden and Blue Face Painting with Intertwined White Filaments - Sparkling Splashes - Buddha Edition

The visual

The painting depicts a Buddha's face with closed eyelids, cut vertically in half. The right half displays a golden textured and grainy, almost sandy, that captures the light like a precious material. The left half is dressed in a petrol blue deep, with streaks of white and fine lines evoking water or smoke. Touches of terracotta red and pearly gray appear at the top of the composition, around the traditional curly hair. White splashes cross the entire work, creating a sense of movement and dissolution. The contrast between the precision of the sculpted face and the freedom of the pictorial treatment gives a work that is both figurative and abstract. The vertical composition accentuates the serene presence of the face while allowing space to breathe around it.
