About the artwork

In this powerful painting, we see a confident woman looking straight into the lens, her hands firmly at her sides. She exudes strength, pride and determination. Her full forms are highlighted by a close-fitting, bright red top and blue-green trousers - a colour combination that not only contrasts with the richly decorated background, but also seems a nod to the vintage style of the 1940s or 1950s. The baroque background with warm, floral ornaments enhances the sense of timelessness and character.

What stands out are the details: the subtle brush strokes in her skin, the contrast between the soft light and the robust pose, and the fact that she is not smiling - not out of coldness, but as a conscious choice to put strength over charm.

This work grew out of a fascination with femininity in all its forms. The inspiration comes from vintage photography, classic painting as well as contemporary body positivity movements. The idea was to depict a woman as she really is - without filter, without shame, but full of pride.

The atmosphere is outspoken and powerful. This work gives a warm feeling, but also a sense of confrontation. The woman looks at you with a gaze that says, "Here I am." She forces you as a viewer to see her fully. It raises questions about beauty ideals, about self-image, about heritage. At the same time, it is also an ode to style and flair - a celebration of femininity in all its glory.
