Coiffure

22  x 18 inches
Mixed media 3D painting on glass

The central figure, a woman, arranges her hair in an unhurried manner which sets a tone of calm, comfort and gentle care. Perhaps she is preparing for a party, perhaps for a romantic rendezvous, maybe she is getting ready for bed. The beauty of this painting lies in its simplicity and the careful choice of details: the washbasin in the corner, the laundry line overhead, the peacock with folded tail in the doorway.
