Serendipity
60 x 90 cms I Acrylic on Canvas
An elegant woman gazes at her reflection in a mirror; the lady stands in front of the mirror. Thus, her face and upper midsection view are only visible in the mirror’s reflection, adding an element of ambiguity. The mirror hangs on a painted wall, and to the right of the piece, upon glancing out of the window, the viewer can observe the classical architecture, brick wall. The mirror frame is embellished, and the lady wears an elegant layered black dress; as she holds both of her arms in front of her, she appears content, glamorous and graceful. The warm tones and neutral shades create a comforting, cozy mood. The use of light in this piece allows the viewer to see the curvature of the figure’s muscles; her facial profile is highlighted by the rays of light illuminating the room. This piece symbolizes opulence and warmth.
The inspiration behind this piece is the comfort of one’s home and luxuries; as we aspire to reach a state of contentment in our lives.
