Ember Figure in Blue

A loosely rendered nude figure occupies the center of the painting, its warm ochre and coral body emerging from a deep, atmospheric field of blue, teal, violet, and burgundy. The elongated pose and simplified anatomy emphasize contour and gesture over literal detail, while luminous strokes along the shoulders, torso, and hips give the body a sculptural glow. The work has the intimate immediacy of a life study filtered through expressive, contemporary color.
