In this elegant piece, I depicted a beautiful woman captured in a quiet moment of self-admiration — reapplying her red lipstick at an outdoor café on a warm summer day. Set within a stylized urban cityscape, the composition blends elements of a retro-inspired street scene with strong pop-art sensibilities. The striking contrast of black and white, punctuated by bold reds, enhances the cinematic atmosphere of the scene. Sleek cars, two glasses of wine, and vibrant umbrellas evoke the mood of a sunlit restaurant terrace — a place where elegance, confidence, and a hint of mystery meet. This work is both a female portrait and a symbolic reflection of timeless femininity. The woman’s face, framed by dark hair and large sunglasses, becomes a focal point — mysterious yet expressive, understated yet powerful. Her red lips act as a visual and emotional anchor, speaking to ritual, beauty, and identity.
