• Dimensions (cm): 120x90

This painting, Queen Isabo (2017), bursts with energy through its kaleidoscope of colors and fractured forms. Vivid reds, yellows, blues, and greens overlap in sharp angular shapes, creating a sense of rhythm and movement across the canvas. The fragmented composition resists immediate clarity, inviting the eye to search for figures and meaning within its vibrant abstraction.

Hints of form begin to emerge through the layers: draped fabrics, human profiles, and gestures dissolve into one another, suggesting both presence and concealment. The interplay of bold color fields with softer transitions gives the impression of shifting perspectives, as if the viewer is glimpsing multiple realities at once.

At its core, the work conveys both strength and mystery. The regal title evokes an aura of authority, while the fractured imagery suggests complexity and hidden depth. This balance between brilliance and ambiguity makes the painting a meditation on identity, power, and the layered nature of perception.
