The artwork radiates a vibrating energy, achieved through the fusion of abstract and figurative elements. The dominant presence in the image is a female figure, whose facial features are concealed and simultaneously revealed by the overlapping HUMAN STRIPES. These layered elements create a tension between the visible and the hidden, making the figure both mysterious and an integral part of the overall composition.
The woman appears to be caught in a moment of calm or reflection, a still center at the heart of the colorful turmoil surrounding her. Her features are rendered in soft shades of gray and gentle transitions, creating a stark contrast to the vivid and bold colors of the abstract lines that play around her. The colors used suggest an atmosphere of warmth and light, metaphorically representing the dance of the sun.
The application of colors and the technique of overpainting lend the image a particular depth. The vertical lines, acting like rays of the sun, overlay the portrait of the woman and produce an optical illusion, prompting the viewer to linger longer, to follow the interplay between figure and abstraction.
