"Azure Aura"

Oil painting on framed canvas, 32”x42”.

I present a raw and captivating self-portrait that blends elements of vulnerability and opulence. My figure, depicted nude, is adorned with turquoise mother-of-pearl appliqués strategically placed over the breasts, adding an ethereal layer of beauty and texture. One eye is veiled in gold leaf, creating a hypnotic focal point that contrasts with the deep, serene blue background. The painting elegantly captures both my physical form and essence, merging classical beauty with a contemporary twist.
