Gracious ballerina, in a moment of silence and meditation. Part of my "Nude in Interior" series Original painting, one a kind. No need for frame. Shipping directly from the artist's studio, stretched, wide stretcher. 15.7x15.7x2in / 40x40x5cm "As a woman artist I’ve been preoccupied with the female form and imagery. My goal is to capture the nude’s relation to the surrounding space and the solitary moments. My interest turned from depicting the space to depicting the atmosphere, and the feeling a woman adds to the environment: warmth, joy, a feeling of power and control, or the opposite – sadness, despair. The human figure is more present than ever in my paintings." Paula Craioveanu

Title: «¿A quién no le gusta un chico malo?» Collection: Muses Description: Acrylic on canvas, figurative, natural, gestural, modern "By tradition and social convention, women are educated in moderation and restraint... Strong mental barriers are imposed, turning women into docile and modest beings (especially in societies dominated by religions). As a result, women who are restricted in their education or in what is considered 'forbidden' become objects of desire precisely because of their taboo nature, which is doubly attractive for breaking the norm and defying such a backward education."
