Half Venus

Oil on canvas
50 x 80 cm

This artwork always gave me a weird feeling.
It feels like something is off, even if I like it.
The space that surrounds her is too wide, it doesn't feel comfortable, it's like she's left wandering among the canvas.
Her head movement too feels like she's trying to escape the observer, as if she doesn't want to be seen.
Sometimes I think I've painted her against her will.
She comes out from an empty background, half body exposed, like a corpse.
She'll be eternally incomplete, half a venus.
