Leopard and dancer, acrylic on canvas by Barbara Iori (Bajo) of 2024.
"Leopardo with dancer" by Barbara Iori (Bajo) is a lively and symbolic work that combines animal strength and human grace. The large front face of the leopard dominates the scene, with intense green eyes that transmit a sense of vigilance and power. On her right, a dark dancer with graceful and sensual movements in green dress seems to merge visually with the beast, creating a dialogue between instinct and harmony, ferocity and art. The bright colors, the marked lines and the front composition give energy and theatricality to a picture that speaks of nature and femininity in a contemporary key.
