Painting description

"Lady Hamilton in attendance", 2020, oil on canvas, size 36x33 cm (framed 53x50 cm) The painting depicts a woman (the titular Lady Hamilton) standing in water that reaches her hips. The woman is naked, except for a paper cap on her head, resembling a traditional paper hat, often seen in children's games. Her hands are on her hips. The water around her is calm and blue, and paper boats float on its surface, all identical in shape and evenly scattered. The background is a cloud-covered sky, creating a contrast with the blue of the water. The distant coastline is also visible, suggesting an open sea space. The painting exudes surrealism and a poetic mood. The paper boats add an element of childish fantasy and play, while at the same time introducing the symbolism of delicacy and transience to the scene. The combination of a naked figure with simple origami forms can be interpreted as a commentary on the fragility of man and his dreams. The subtle use of colors and the details of the clouds create an atmosphere that is both dramatic and peaceful.
