A striking masterpiece of watercolour painting, executed on a very large canvas, depicting two ballerinas frozen in dance poses. Their arms are outstretched to the sides, with five fingers clearly defined on each hand. Both ballerinas’ figures form artistic silhouettes, built up from bright, translucent layers of watercolour, energetic brushstrokes and smooth colour transitions. The facial features of the ballerina in the foreground are rendered exclusively through vivid bursts of colour and colour transitions, capturing an intense, frozen, passionate emotion through her meticulously rendered, expressive eyes. The composition unfolds in a fairy-tale watercolour ballet studio with a huge, mist-shrouded mirror in the background, in which her colourful, soaring silhouette is reflected. A rich palette of deep ultramarine, saturated purple, fiery magenta and neon turquoise flows seamlessly throughout the composition. Pure, expressive, fluid art on textured paper.
