An oil painting depicting a woman in profile, her face partially concealed by a white balaclava richly adorned with colorful floral and ornamental embroidery. Through the eye opening, her gaze meets the viewer directly, both intimate and defiant. The vibrant greens of the background amplify the bright reds, blues, and yellows woven into the textile-like mask, evoking associations with folk art and cultural heritage. Framed in an ornate golden frame with elaborate leaf and scroll motifs, the work fuses traditional craftsmanship with contemporary portraiture, exploring themes of identity, concealment, and cultural memory.
