The Wind Dresses Her in Blue
O Vento Veste-a de Azul
Mixed media on canvas120 × 70 cmHeight × width · canvas
I wanted to capture a fleeting moment where the wind becomes a tailor, dressing the woman in a dance of fabric and light. The female silhouette moves with grace, between the real and the abstract, suggesting not just a body but an emotion suspended in time. The geometric lines bring rhythm and fragmentation, as if the viewer’s gaze were sliding between dimensions. I used impasto to enhance the texture, giving the canvas an almost tangible presence.
