'Blue Velvet and Smoke' 10x10 in Deep black shadow frame

$350.00

Reclining on a sea of luxurious blue velvet, she exhales words like smoke, delicate and ephemeral. But these are not just any words—they drift from the pages of Lolita, a book loaded with complexity, controversy, and societal reflection. Her gaze is both bold and serene, as if daring the viewer to confront the layers of meaning in the smoke she breathes: beauty, desire, power, and control.

In this piece, the act of smoking becomes a metaphor for consumption—of ideas, of narratives, of identities imposed by culture. She transforms those words into something transient, reshaping them into her own fleeting, intangible expression. The golden halo surrounding her head evokes a sense of sanctity, challenging the viewer to reconsider notions of purity, sensuality, and intellect.

"Blue Velvet Reverie" invites the viewer to reflect on the complexities of femininity, the power of owning one's story, and the ability to take in what society imposes and release it transformed.
