I wanted the pose to be both vulnerable and powerful. The drapery of bright red fabric, rich in folds and nuances, is the true visual protagonist: it envelops the woman's body, slipping away to reveal the delicacy of her back and bare buttocks. For me, this red symbolizes the intensity of passion and love, a feeling that envelops but does not completely hide the essence of a person.

The contrast with the large mass of white fabric on the left creates a visual and symbolic balance, representing the purity and freshness that merge with passion. In the background, I painted a large multi-pane stained-glass window (lead-glass windows) that spans the entire wall. The light filtering through the glass, with its blurred shades of green, yellow, and blue, creates a muffled, almost theatrical atmosphere, isolating the subject in a suspended moment in time. The figure looks not at the viewer, but toward the window and the light, as if reflecting or waiting, making the entire scene a hymn to domestic intimacy and anticipation.

​The use of a mixed media of oil and acrylic allowed me to work with transparent layers for the light from the glass and with the material density of the red drapery, creating a rich and expressive surface. I hope this work will awaken in the viewer a sense of beauty, tranquility, and the warmth of a pure and profound love.
