Girl in Bistro' (2024); 87 x 114 cm; acrylic on canvas
without frame
The painting "Portrait of a Girl in the Bistro" captures a key moment in the journey of a woman seeking escape and self-renewal. Seated at a bistro on Bali, she sips wine, dressed in a bold leopard-print dress and heels—an outfit that evokes the glamour of a 90s film, contrasting with the laid-back island atmosphere. Her expression is pensive, as if she's deep in thought, beginning to unravel the chaos of her life.
This scene represents the start of her transformation, with the setting symbolizing the shift from personal crisis to conscious hedonism.
