WORK LINE: 'A WOMAN WITH A HAT'
A woman wearing a hat that symbolises freedom, featuring a spiral that makes her journey difficult during challenging times for humanity. A bird is perched on this spiral as a symbol of freedom, albeit a restrained one.
Freedom is always subject to constraints, but building free societies means following the path that history has charted for humankind over time.
In this body of work, the paintings may take the form of diptychs, and to this end the background colours are rendered in pairs.
‘A WOMAN WITH A HAT / FREEDOM - LIBERTÀ - LIBERTAD - LIBERTÈ’. is chromatically linked to ‘A WOMAN WITH A HAT - LOVE - AMORE -AMOR - AMOUR’.
The directions indicated by the two faces depicted are opposite.
It is a play on simplicity and the essential desires of human beings, combined either separately or in pairs. If the paintings are viewed in pairs, the dimensions would be 100x200cm.
The second photo is a preliminary sketch of the final artwork.
