Little Feet, Big Dreams

Pequenos Pés, Grandes Sonhos

Mixed media on canvas90 × 100 cmHeight × width · canvas3 750 €

I wanted to convey the delicacy and strength of learning through dance. The young ballerinas represent the beginning of a dream, the first steps guided by experience. The fusion of figurative and abstract elements, with geometric shapes, translates the intensity and emotion of the moment. The texture created with impasto gives depth to the canvas, making the dance almost leap out of it.
