Description:
Extremely talented and highly educated Turkish dancer Özlem Idilsu performs a passionate, 'blood stirring' Turkish Delight belly dance with her soul totally immersed. Produced in cooperation with belly dancer Özlem (Thanks Özlem..)
Both the belly dancer and the background are painted entirely with a knife. A high level of contrast is provided and the colours made extremely rich, bold and lustrous, thus creating a very contemporary feel overall.
It's a very large, very dramatic, emotive, moody and atmospheric figurative belly dance painting in an Oriental, Middle Eastern setting that would not look out of place as a feature in a lounge, study, office, music room, conservatory, bedroom, hall, landing or similar room and be a focal point to be proud of.
Contact myself for more information about this beautiful work of art, or if you would like to purchase it. Obviously, the quality of the original painting and prints is much better than displayed here, though if you wish to make a closer inspection, please let me know of any specific area you're interested in and I'll e mail a higher resolution image to you.
