Ascension

This painting presents a powerful, stylized portrait of a woman rendered through bold geometric divisions and vibrant, symbolic color. Her upward gaze and slightly parted lips suggest confidence, reverence, and inner awakening. Traditional elements, such as the coral beads, earrings, and textured hair, anchor the figure in cultural identity, while the fragmented planes of color across the face and hands evoke multiplicity and strength. The raised hands frame the composition like a gesture of praise or self-affirmation, transforming the subject into a symbol of dignity, spirituality, and feminine power. The intense reds, yellows, blues, and blacks create visual rhythm and emotional depth, reinforcing a sense of pride and transcendence.
