About this artwork

Acrylic on canvas image of a ballet dancer in camouflage posing on a pedestal. 44 x 54 cm FRAMED. I enjoyed trying this idea and she stands out the further you stand back from the painting. This is one of a pair I produced. The camera does not justice to this colourful picture. This vibrant oil painting depicts a young girl performing a graceful curtsy. She is clad in a kaleidoscopic costume, bursting with a myriad of colours and patterns, creating a mesmerising visual spectacle. The girl stands against a kaleidoscopic backdrop that mirrors the patterns and colours of her outfit. This seamless integration of the figure with the background creates a sense of depth and illusion. I’ve used light and shadow to highlight the textures and details of the costume, making it appear almost three-dimensional. The girl's posture, with her head slightly bowed and her knees bent in a graceful curtsy, conveys a sense of both humility and elegance. Overall, this kaleidoscopic oil painting captures the imagination and invites the viewer to lose themselves in the vibrant world it creates.
