Tranquil side view of a female profile, almost carved into a wall of turquoise and gold. The face appears partly weathered, partly elevated, like a relief rising from the background. The texture is rich and tactile: thick layers of paint, craquelé effects and cracked surfaces reinforce the idea of something ancient, precious and mysterious.
The dominant turquoise hue is poetically punctuated by shimmering fragments of gold, lying across the face like scars or sacred markings. The closed eyes, subdued lips and soft, downward line of the mouth give the work a meditative, almost sacred look. The face seems to rest in a state of eternal contemplation.
The tension between the weathered surface and the serene facial expression makes the work particularly layered. It raises questions about time, beauty, memory and inner silence. It looks like both a contemporary painting and an archaeological artefact that has just been uncovered.
