Being a dancer, movement was something I wanted to incorporate into my paintings.
The basics to our existence are the five elements (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water & Ether).
Flamenco was a style I always found really intriguing. Each step is done with so much strength, weightlessness, passion, fluidity & grace - then the idea came to incorporate the two.
This painting explores flamenco through the element of air, where movement is shaped by breath, flow, and invisible force. The dancer holds a large fan that extends her gesture beyond the body, pulling her arm into a stretched arc as her dress flows backward in response. Air becomes visible through motion—revealing rhythm, tension, and release as the figure is carried by the space around her.
