The painting shows the imposing rear view of a matador wearing a richly decorated “Traje de Luces” (suit of lights). Painted with acrylics on canvas, the artwork impresses with its fine detail work and vibrant colors. The matador is depicted in a strikingly embroidered yellow suit with elaborate floral patterns, highlighted by beads and embellishments. He holds a traditional, two-tone cape in pink and yellow, which is expressively staged. The dark background in rich blue provides a clear contrast and draws the eye to the matador's magnificent costume and posture. The texture of the acrylic paint and the precise execution give the painting a realistic yet dynamic effect.
Minerva - symbol of female strength and mental clarity
The painting “Minerva” takes up the Roman goddess of wisdom, strategy and the arts and reinterprets her in the context of contemporary portraiture. Reduced to head and hand, the depiction focuses
on the clear, open gaze - an expression of alertness, intelligence and inner calm.
The work was executed exclusively using the palette knife technique with acrylic paint on canvas. The textured surface creates depth and tension without appearing decorative. The abstract design
leaves room for interpretation, but at the same time emphasizes the dignity and presence of the figure depicted.
Minerva - often equated with Athena - embodies not only strategic thinking but also creative power. This dual meaning is reflected in the work: between control and intuition, clarity and emotion,
a portrait emerges that defies any temporal classification and yet is completely anchored in the present.
“Minerva” is exemplary for the combination of mythological symbolism and modern art on canvas. It is a quiet, powerful statement of spiritual strength and feminine sovereignty.
