Artwork location: Bulgaria
This artwork features a young ballerina captured in a moment of introspection, sitting gracefully on the floor. Her pose is both natural and poised, with her arms gently wrapped around her legs. The authenticity of her expression suggests a moment of calm contemplation before or after a performance. The artist employs a soft yet vibrant palette, using a mix of deep blues, rich browns, and gentle whites, which create an enchanting contrast between the girl's delicate features and the dark, abstract background. The play of light and shadow across the canvas adds depth, emphasizing the texture of the tutu and the sheen of her ballet shoes. The tutu is a striking visual element, rendered with meticulous attention to detail. Its layers of tulle appear almost ethereal, catching the light in a way that enhances the delicacy of the composition. Her hair, styled in gentle curls, frames her face and complements the softness of the overall image. This painting masterfully conveys a sense of quiet determination and youthful grace, capturing the essence of a dancer's spirit. The seamless blend of realism with an impressionistic background provides a unique and captivating focal point, making the viewer pause and reflect alongside the young ballerina.

Presentation
Maria Petrova is a Bulgarian artist, born in 1991. She graduated from the Art High School of Applied Arts, then from the National Academy of Arts.
The artist works with oil painting, her style is realism with small beginnings of abstraction. Portrait painting is also a passion of mine, it involves recreating (look, eyes) the state of the eyes:
"For me the eyes are a window to the soul, they are so vast, sensual, incredible and infinitely mysterious, I have a challenging thirst to paint eyes that want to say SOMETHING".
Maria is easily recognisable, in her paintings she allows the viewer to feel emotions and her style does not make us enjoy the feelings we feel, because they are a fact when the Catrinas are in front of our eyes.
