This work, attributed to the French school of the late twentieth century, can be contextualized within a contemporary re-reading of the expressionist and symbolist currents. Although chronologically it belongs to a period dominated by conceptual art, minimalism and postmodern practices, the painting reveals a desire to recover the figuration and emotional charge of Expressionism.
The material treatment of the oil, the visible brushstrokes and the chromatic intensity, especially in the greens of the background and the red and yellow accents of the flowers, refer to a tradition that connects with Fauvism and Expressionism, historical movements deeply rooted in France. The female figure, hieratic and self-absorbed, has a symbolic character that evokes the legacy of Symbolism of the late nineteenth century, where the representation does not seek realism but the expression of an inner state.
