Stella Stolkert, Berlin

Description

A draped, cobalt-blue figure stands against a neutral backdrop in this artful composition. The figure, entirely covered in a draped fabric, extends a hand to hold the string of a heart-shaped balloon. The balloon, also cobalt blue, is anatomically correct with visible arteries and veins. The draping over the figure creates flowing lines and a sense of movement. The lighting accentuates the texture of the draping and the sheen of the balloon, adding depth to the monochromatic color scheme. The composition has a surreal and dreamlike quality due to the heart balloon and draped figure.
