Original artwork description:

My ladies have always been with me; my earliest drawings were nudes; when I had my first gallery on Samui, I used to have lots of Thais walking by furtively peeping into my shop with lots of kids sneaking a look, all because of my nudes, Thais don’t normally do nudes.
In this painting, I've explored the interplay of mystery and sensuality through the bold contrast of vivid red against the deep, absorbing black. The oversized red hat, striking yet concealing, serves as a vibrant focal point, symbolising both empowerment and enigma. The figure, gracefully poised yet faceless, invites viewers to imagine their story, triggering a dialogue about identity and perception. This piece aims to add a touch of intrigue and a profound aesthetic statement to any space.
