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 work explores flamenco through the element of ether, where movement becomes light, presence, and transcendence. Bent backward with her arms extended behind her, the dancer appears suspended between strength and surrender as light falls across her form. Ether is expressed not as something seen, but something felt—an energy beyond the physical body that captures the spiritual intensity and emotional depth of flamenco
