Description:
Daria's pose provokes such sensuality and eroticism. She's clearly aware of her beauty and flaunts it to perfection, exploiting her physique to the maximum extent possible. All aspects of her body language have been adjusted specifically to tease the imagination of the viewer. Uni directional lighting has been used to accentuate contrast and create deep shadows to enhance mood and atmosphere, emphasised by the dark background which creates further dimension.

However: "If pleasures are greatest in anticipation, just remember that this is also true of trouble."

Oil paint has been used throughout, on a very large stretched canvas, in a single coat and all wet on wet, mixing on the canvas to create seamless blending effects and the very fine detail.

It's a large, sensual and very dramatic, moody and atmospheric painting that would not look out of place as a feature in any location.

Contact myself for more information about this beautiful anonymous, figurative fine art nude oil painting. Obviously, the quality of the original painting is much better than displayed here, though if you wish to make a closer inspection, please let me know of any specific area you're interested in and I'll e mail a higher resolution image to you.
