Carlos, this is such a beautiful painting! I love the carefully considered design elements in this painting, the vertical lines repeating themselves, and of course the profile of the pale face agains the dark panel. For me, a coiled red drape evokes a Caravaggio-esque sense of controlled passion, which is an excellent metaphor for flamenco.
I have painted several such dancers as models when I teach here in Arizona. When my eyesight gives out, I'm taking up flamenco as a new career.
Congratulations on another intelligent and stunning painting. It's always a great pleasure to see your work here.
