Description
This acrylic painting captures a profound moment of intimacy and vulnerability. The composition focuses on a partial view of a female torso. A hand gently rests against the skin. The gesture suggests a protective embrace or a quiet exploration of the self.
The artist employs a daring approach to the nude. The palette blends warm flesh tones with deep, moody shadows. These dark backgrounds create a stark contrast. They push the figure forward into a visceral light.
The brushwork is textured and expressive. It emphasizes the organic curves and imperfections of the body. This approach challenges traditional beauty standards. It celebrates the raw reality of the female form.
The narrative explores themes of empowerment and gender roles. There is a fearless quality to the depiction. The artwork transforms the body into a site of strength and reflection. It invites the viewer to contemplate the boundaries between the private and the public.
Created in 2019, the piece balances tenderness with a bold feminist perspective. The focus remains on the tactile quality of the skin against a void of crimson and black.
Presentation
Dzovig Arnelian (b. 1996) is a Beirut-based Lebanese-Armenian artist whose works address themes related to gender roles, feminism, and the criticism of patriarchy. Her practice is mainly focused on painting and exploring her body as her paint brush, etching, engraving, and photography. Her depiction of deeply personal subjects is bold yet sensitive, offering a view of her world in an intimate, subtle and vulnerable manner.
Arnelian's contemporary expressionist style is typified by her use of bold and vibrant colors and she also experiments with versatile mediums, using material from her everyday life that evoke feelings of sensuality, love, fertility, and intimacy. Arnelian's bold yet delicate expression challenges prevalent stereotypes about femininity, sexuality and feelings we trap and express in our bodies.
Arnelian obtained her bachelor's degree in plastic arts in 2019 and later completed her master's degree in fine arts in 2021 from the Lebanese University. She held her first solo exhibition "24 Universes" in 2020 at Artlab Gallery in Beirut and has since participated in several solo and group exhibitions in Egypt, Spain, the United States and Japan. Her works have also been acquired by many private collectors from across the world.
Dzovig Arnelian is also the founder of Arneli Art Gallery.
