The Ballerina

This is a portrait of the ballerina, poised at the perfect moment, with her hands held up and her toes raised daintily. This picture perfectly captures an artist frozen at the eclipsing moment of the performance of her art. To most artists and art connoisseurs, this may be considered as the moment that is of immense worth to be captured. There is a mutual and ambiguous sense of the beautiful and the passionate in this picture. The translucent beauty of the ivory skin is in great contrast of the flaming passionate red of the ballerina’s dress that is flying in the air, to be ultimately submerged with the background. This forms a raving red background with shades of black. The portrait is a flurry of artistically designed color in a few subtle and dark shades. Thus, the artist plays around only a handful of selected colors in order to bring out this mood of ambiguity in his audience. He successfully invokes mixed emotions of desire and serenity in the viewers of this particular painting that reaches completely new and unexplored heights of serenity and perfection in terms of the artistic genius, creativity and ultimately the imagination of the creator of this work.
