In Barbara , Marie Ange Scala sublimates the fragility and strength of a feminine presence through a captivating play of light and texture. Created in 1987 with dry pastel on midnight blue Canson paper, this work transports the viewer into an almost ethereal atmosphere.
Seated facing forward, with one leg slightly open, Barbara 's figure is enveloped by a halo of vibrant lines and luminous shades. The touches of pastel outline a radiant skin, contrasting with the deep blue background, which seems to capture the fluidity of water or the mystery of the night. Barbara 's gaze, full of reflection and melancholy, invites an intimate and poetic contemplation.
Framed under glass with a bevelled edged mat board and a light oak frame, this 82 x 63 cm work is a piece of rare intensity, ideal for those who appreciate sensitive and expressive portraits.
Offered for €800, Barbara is an invitation to discover raw emotion and beauty in the simplicity of features, a true ode to femininity.
