Just as cool as you please - Study in tone

This vibrant painting showcases a striking figure of a woman poised gracefully, draped in a flowing, fiery red fabric against a backdrop of cool blues and greys. Her bright blond hair contrasts with the surrounding colors, drawing the viewer's attention to her confident expression and dynamic pose. The use of bold brush strokes and a striking color palette creates a sense of movement and energy, capturing the essence of liberation and fun. The contrasting colors evoke a lively atmosphere, enhancing the emotional depth of the piece.
This artwork would be an excellent addition to modern living spaces, such as a contemporary lounge or a stylish entertainment area. It can also complement a vibrant office environment or an artistic studio, providing a splash of color and inspiration. Placing it in well-lit areas will enhance its vivid colors and details, making it a focal point that draws the eye.

This artwork comes with an external frame taking the size of the piece to 51.3cm (W) x 39.5cm (H) x 4cm(D) | In creating this piece, I aimed to capture the vibrant essence of confidence and poise. With expressive acrylics and impactful sprays, I fused expressionism's intensity with pop art vibrancy, while dancing on the edges of semi-abstraction. This artwork, a symphony of bold colours and an evocative figure, invites a dynamic energy into any space, encouraging viewers to embrace their own strength and elegance. “Just as cool as you please” refers to a line in the poem “Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou. The poem illustrates just how stunning and alluring confidence is. Angelou writes that she is not “cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size,” but she keeps her head high and her stride strong because she knows she is a phenomenal woman. This is my hope and desire for every single woman I know - including the model that inspires this painting.
