"The dance" is a contemporary work, unique and original, made with acrylic paint and oil pastels. Abstract painting and colorful symbolist, ode to freedom with a stylized representation of the Berber symbol that is staged, personified. The symbols become dancing beings, a crowd in motion, nothing is frozen. The expressionist touch underlines this impression of movement in the work. Composition in pyramidal construction for an effect of depth. Several planes intertwine in the work, between elliptical forms and more raw abstract touches. I used a range of mostly light colors. Although the palette is cold, the work is not, a red glaze warms up the pastel tones, enhanced by pure whites and blacks. I also used bronze and gold colors to give a shiny effect in some areas.
The sides of the canvas are painted in the continuity of the painting. A glossy varnish is applied to the canvas. The hanging system is provided.
