ACRYLIC - 40CM X 50CM
 
"Golden" is a captivating and symbolic acrylic painting that merges human form with intricate, vibrant patterns. The central figure, a woman with voluminous, curly hair, is rendered in warm tones, her body posed with a slight bend that emphasizes her natural curves. Behind her is a luminous golden halo, a striking feature that gives the work a spiritual and ethereal quality, juxtaposing the earthy tones of the figure. The background is filled with bold, colorful geometric patterns and abstract shapes in shades of blue, yellow, and pink, creating a sense of depth and energy. These patterns, reminiscent of ancient or tribal art, surround the figure, connecting her to a larger, almost mystical world. The combination of the woman’s strong, confident pose with the golden halo and intricate designs suggests themes of divinity, strength, and connection to cultural heritage, offering a timeless reflection of beauty and power.
 
About the Artist
My name is Sophia Adli. I'm a self taught Irish-Algerian artist based in East London. My work is centred around female autonomy, strength and vulnerability. Naturally my subject is mainly female form and portrait. I have a degree in fashion and a vast experience in film and I use this to inform my use of colour and composition. In 2022 I curated a female centred exhibition for Womens Day in association with Westfield Stratford. I was also delighted be selected for 2023 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition in Mall Galleries.
