Ribbon Dancer Pose

by Christian Ovís

‘Ribbon Dancer Pose’ depicts an open dance figure with two raised arms and a bent leg on the right-hand side. Narrow ribbons in yellow, red, blue, purple and white together form the outline of the body. The head is a small, rounded shape with coloured bands. The figure stands against a calm grey background, ensuring that the long lines and open spaces remain clearly visible.

The left arm reaches diagonally upwards; the right arm bends closer to the head. Around the chest, light and dark stripes cross each other, before narrowing at the waist. The raised knee forms a broad sideways curve. Below it, the ribbons converge once more. Light on the outer edges and shadows on the reverse sides emphasise the twists. The different colours follow the body’s movement and connect the separate elements.

This abstract dance wall art suits a modern interior with a calm base and a few colour accents. In a living room, study or hall, the vertical figure can serve as an elegant focal point. A plain wall provides space for the broad arm posture. From a distance, it is the dance gesture that is most recognisable; up close, the small bands of colour, intersections and curved edges stand out. The artwork brings together openness and movement.
