An Interval of Blue, 2026Oil on canvas36 x 28 in

An Interval of Blue captures a moment of quiet suspension between movement and stillness. A young ballerina sits folded into herself against a gently weathered, lime-washed wall. Beyond its edge, a narrow expanse of Mediterranean sea opens into an uninterrupted blue horizon — a subtle counterpoint to her inward gaze.
An Interval of Blue captures a moment of quiet suspension between movement and stillness. A young ballerina sits folded into herself against a gently weathered, lime-washed wall. Beyond its edge, a narrow expanse of Mediterranean sea opens into an uninterrupted blue horizon — a subtle counterpoint to her inward gaze.Executed with careful attention to natural light, the composition is defined by the sun’s gentle illumination: it traces the line of her shoulder, warms her forearms, and catches delicately along the folds of her translucent skirt. These passages of light lend the figure both presence and softness, anchoring her physically while reinforcing the contemplative mood.
Though dressed for dance, she is not in motion. Instead, she occupies a quiet interval — a pause between exertion and expression, between exterior discipline and interior reflection. The peeling white wall suggests time and atmosphere; the sea and sky introduces openness and breath. Together, they frame a study in stillness, restraint, and luminous calm.
An Interval of Blue invites the viewer into a space of introspection — a moment where light, form, and silence are held in delicate balance.
