The figure with one leg coming from back to rest on her head, while the other bends forward from the shoulder, appears like a cat on the prowl. Her body is supple and flawless, like beautiful poetry in motion. In its bends, the bottled-up love and desires emote a new musical note, wherever it twines. While she waits there with the unflinching balance of a strong masculine determination, it is difficult to tell a witch from a woman, a painting from a sculpture-the grotesque image wonderfully blurs the lines. Boy! The face is bittersweet yet sensual. And when desires run amok on her face, she appears like beauty personified, a goddess from heaven, waiting in earnest for her man, while at other times, she appears like a witch, ready to pounce on her man. Is it smoke that is rising up from her feet, or her hair, cascading like a waterfall, it is difficult to tell! Set in shades of crimson, the frozen image combines painting, sculpture, bas-relief, and trompe l’oeil, such visuals are rare where influences of Italian cinemas and sci-fi horror novels meet at the same time and successfully transform a realistic image into a beautiful painting. The distorted figure depicts an artist’s reflection of hypothetical situations and theatrical settings that ache of a range of emotions and desires which are a mix of sweet, mysterious, ghastly, realistic, sensual, and sublime.
