Hurricane Woman emerges as a magnetic presence, suspended between primal force and formal control. The bas-relief on canvas reveals a continuous tension between surface and depth: the figure rises while holding itself back, driven by an inner energy that cannot be contained.
The gold leaf functions as a living field of light, unstable and vibrating. The red background amplifies the dynamic charge of the work, transforming the hair into an expanded, almost atmospheric motion. The smussato technique, shaped with spatula and bare hands, creates a tactile, stratified surface where gesture becomes language.

The work exists in a dimension where the body is not represented but generated. Hurricane Woman is a contemporary bas-relief, a presence that crosses the visual space and destabilizes it, holding together strength and vulnerability.
Its participation in ArtExpo New York, from April 9 to 12, 2026, Pier 36, 299 South Street, New York, Booth 302, strengthens its international positioning. Within one of the leading global platforms for contemporary art, the work engages with collectors, galleries and curators, demonstrating its ability to transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries and assert itself in a highly competitive context.
