The Lady In The Sky - Nada Dahawi

Medium: Oil colors / ink on canvas Surface: Framed Canvas Dimensions: 50 x 70 cm Year : 2015 Technique: blends symbolism and abstraction , using oil colors and mixed with Acrylic and ink on canvas Artwork Description: In this artwork, I used the colors of the rainbow in the background to create a joyful, vibrant atmosphere. Yellow dominates the scene it is, in my view, the color of life, of the sun, of sunrise and morning. A surreal woman appears to be flying through the air. Her body is openly feminine, with a large chest and rounded thighs. The use of black and white in her form creates a sense of detachment she appears either pasted onto the background, faded, or perhaps not truly part of this world. The abstract interpretation of her body expresses a covered femininity, even in its exposure. From her head bursts a stream of bloody red, symbolizing an explosion of thoughts from deep within the mind.She floats across a rainbow , will she fall to the ground ? Or is she flying forever, without falling?
