The Flamenco Dancer

A swirl of silk, a foot’s command,
She dances fire across the land.
Behind her still, in golden grace,
The next awaits her time and place.

This oil on wood painting captures a moment from traditional Spanish dance culture, fusing dynamic movement with poised stillness. The expressive realism highlights the dancer’s flowing motion and vibrant attire, contrasted by the composed child in the background. The technique emphasizes texture and light on wood grain, anchoring the subjects in a vivid, theatrical space. The genre is figurative with cultural and performative themes, executed in a classical yet energetic style.
