Artwork description

River Landscape and Ingres’ La Grande Odalisque merges classical form with surreal abstraction. The reclining nude, borrowed from Ingres, lies calmly in the foreground, her pale figure contrasting with the intense vibrancy of the surrounding scene. She appears timeless and serene, yet displaced, as though resting within a dreamlike vision rather than a tangible world.

Behind her, an explosion of color dominates the composition. Bursts of red, orange, and blue create a fractured yet dynamic backdrop, where organic and mechanical shapes seem to collide. The layering of textures and hues suggests both movement and disorientation, a visual symphony that oscillates between chaos and harmony.

The river landscape hinted in the distance grounds the piece with a horizon of light, but even this serenity feels unstable. By juxtaposing the calm classicism of the odalisque with an abstract storm of modern color and form, the painting questions the permanence of beauty and the tension between tradition and innovation.
