This is a portrait of the female writer Anaïs Nin.
As an admirer of her work, I had to paint her...
Writing that she was "thirsty for the marvelous" inspired me to capture her dark sides mixed with light and gold textures.
It is a figurative work with an abstract background.
The sides of the canvas are also painted. A glossy varnish as a finishing touch emphasizes the intensity of the portrait.
Anaïs has been lately exhibited in London.
