Malika is a bright and provocative painting that narrates the story of an extraordinary female character who thrives in the spotlight. With her undeniable talent and charisma, she commands attention wherever she goes. To capture her essence, I employed a mixed media technique, blending oil painting with a palette knife to meticulously render her hair structure and volume. The background is acrylic composition featuring bright, saturated colors and hints of gold, underscoring her unique presence. This piece reflects the evolution of women in art history—from figures in the shadows behind men to dynamic icons of pop art. Malika is an exceptional artwork, executed with oil and acrylic on a 70x70 cm canvas, celebrating the strength and brilliance of its subject.
