Description
This piece came out of a time when I had some dancing under my belt and was learning a lot of things from a dance instructor. It has a crazy, intense look to it that captures the raw movement and interaction between a couple on the dance floor.
While painting, I decided to place a figure in the background and chose to paint her green as a metaphor for envy. But it leaves you with a question: is she really envious, or is there something deeper happening in the background of that dance?
The bright, contrasting colors and sharp angles reflect the high energy, focus, and complicated emotions that come alive when people connect through dance.
