Artwork description

This painting, The Source (Dominique Ingres Improvisation) (2021), transforms Ingres’ celebrated figure into a fragmented, dreamlike vision. The nude woman stands upright, one arm raised above her head, her body partially dissolving into abstract strokes of blue, ochre, and pale flesh tones. She seems suspended between solidity and dissolution, as if memory itself were reshaping her form.

Surrounding her, a swirl of shadowy textures and organic shapes blur the boundary between body and environment. The golden arcs and earthy strokes evoke natural elements—roots, vines, flowing water—suggesting a deeper connection between the human figure and the forces of nature. Yet, this connection is unstable, fractured by the improvisational brushwork that resists permanence.

The figure radiates both strength and fragility. Her gaze, calm and inward, contrasts with the chaos enveloping her. By reinterpreting Ingres’ idealized vision through fragmentation, the artist reclaims the body as mutable and alive—an ever-shifting source, both timeless and transient.
