In this painting, I depicted a sensual, elegant moment suspended between control and freedom. A naked woman — a blonde captured mid-pose in a yoga-inspired inversion — becomes the central figure of this intimate, minimalist scene. Her exposed breasts, hips, legs, feet, and buttocks are gracefully illuminated by the Mediterranean summer light. The ocean stretches endlessly behind her, with deep blue sea waves echoing the curves of her feminine body.  I used strong contrasts of black and white to create graphic tension, softened by touches of red-orange and beige, typical of my pop-art-inspired style. The open arch reveals the endless blue of the sea, blurring the boundary between architectural space and natural openness.

This beautiful woman represents the wild serenity of summer — a portrait of raw, feminine energy and grace. Her soft curves speak the language of warmth, sensuality, and pure presence. For me, this work is about celebrating the female body as art — powerful, honest.
