Striking art deco oil painting on canvas inspired by the Flappers of the Jazz Age, portraying a surreal depiction of a woman wearing a soft throw and an elegant dress in a minimalistic interpretation of new age Cubism. 'New Woman' is based on the subject matter of feeling oppressed and being judged as too difficult or too opinionated and fighting this to reinvent oneself to stand tall and proud. The painting within a painting is symbolic of being unafraid to live an unapologetic life being authentic and expressive, for a voice to be heard even when silenced. Completed in contrasting colours of pale pastel colours and vibrant deep earth tones, soft and tense brushstrokes to intensify the effect of impasto impressionism with elements of abstract art, based on a new style called Neo-Opulence by Denisa Mansfield.
Neo-Opulence blends the fluidity and organic forms of Art Nouveau with the sharp geometry and stylized elegance of Art Deco, but with a modern twist that emphasizes boldness and empowerment. This movement invented by multi-award winning artist Denisa Mansfield focuses on celebrating strength, self-expression, and individuality, using opulent colour palettes, confident elegant lines, and a harmonious combination of fluidity and structure. Neo-Opulence is characterized by its daring use of geometry, intricate linework, and an integration of traditional decorative elements with an intense, almost avant-garde, boldness. While rooted in elegance, it carries a new, dynamic energy, channelling a sense of empowerment and confidence through the juxtaposition of intricate detailing and striking contrasts.
