NUDE ON A TURKISH BLUE BACKGROUND ©Svetlana Kurmaz #art #painting #singulart #Svetlana_Kurmaz_Artist - Video

Original oil paints on linen canvas painting with a Nude Model over Turkish Blue Background.
The nude model is part of the Western art tradition. From time to time I return to this genre, not only because I love academic drawing, but because the body is able to be expressive and graceful in itself, without additional plot framing.
A young red-haired woman sitting on a podium. With one hand she covers her breasts, her face is facing the viewer.
The stylisation of form leads to an almost sculptural generalisation. Her sun-tanned, golden shade body stands out against the background of a bright Turkish blue color.
In this artwork, almost all the extra details are missing except for a light stripe in her hair. Nothing distracts from the character of this young woman.
In this painting I used the classic combination of colors as in the murals on the island of Crete: ocher, English red and Turkish and navy blue . The artwork is painted in several layers.
