Inner Narrative
The composition reveals the intimate relationship and closeness of two figures, simultaneously reflecting the artist's modern approach to femininity and eroticism as a form of expression.
The key to interpreting the work
Pay attention to the contrast between linearity and softness of shapes, to the decorative details, and to the way light emphasizes form and space, creating a three-dimensional effect.See other works by this artist
