Painting description

The painting is shrouded in mystery. A blindfolded woman sits huddled in a corner, which lends her pose an unusual intimacy. Her pink hair contrasts with the deep green of the surroundings, which seem to be submerged in shadow. Beside her, almost like a sentinel, sits a black cat with a piercing gaze. Its fur is almost violet, as if the artist deliberately wanted to give it a magical touch. The atmosphere of the painting is somewhat melancholic, yet carries a measure of calm. The mix of colors and the slightly blurred contours give everything a dreamlike quality. The painting’s style is reminiscent of Impressionism with a touch of Surrealism. The artist used the impasto technique, evident in the texture of the paint on the canvas. Each brushstroke seems deliberate, though not without an element of chance. The viewer can feel the enigmatic nature of the scene and ask what is really happening. Is it pain that is felt here, or rather calm? “And cats are so cool!” a child might think. This composition, full of symbolism, may prompt reflections on isolation and the need to be seen. The painting is intriguing and lingers in the memory for a long time.
