This abstract improvisation on Giorgione’s Judith reimagines the biblical heroine through fragmented forms and a striking palette of red and green. The figure of Judith emerges in layered planes, her serene face rendered in soft tones, while her body dissolves into geometric color blocks. The sharp verticals and diagonals fracture the composition, giving it a rhythm both architectural and dreamlike.
The dominance of crimson suggests passion, power, and sacrifice, contrasted by the grounding greens that allude to life, renewal, and resilience. Judith’s presence is both commanding and elusive—her gaze lowered, her form veiled in abstraction, as though caught between history and myth. The chain-like red strokes descending across her figure intensify the sense of tension, recalling the weight of her act.
Rather than retelling the dramatic story, the work meditates on Judith’s symbolic role—courage, faith, and defiance—transformed into pure energy and color. It becomes less a narrative of violence than a contemplative icon of strength in abstraction.
