Red-haired Woman with Blue Eyes Enjoying - Overwhelmed with Desire - Beer Edition

The visual

The portrait displays a hair auburn that invades the entire composition, mixing copper strands and mahogany reflections worked with a palette knife. A petrol blue scarf adorned with golden touches frames the head, echoing the abstract background treated in the same shades of blue and white. The face, rendered with precision, contrasts with the generous impasto of the background. The eyes of a clear blue fix the viewer with confidence. The hand holds a glass of amber beer topped with a creamy white foam, the only clear figurative element in an otherwise textured and pictorial composition. The play of shadows on the golden skin creates a striking relief. The whole oscillates between the realism of the face and the expressive abstraction of the decor.
