Barbie in Pink

Barbie in Pink is an original acrylic painting on an 11" x 4½" board — a full-length portrait of a Barbie figure rendered as a fashion icon at the height of her powers, dressed for an occasion that demands everything she has, and she has brought it all. She strides forward in a fitted coral pink sheath dress, its clean silhouette adorned with clusters of real beads — tiny, multicoloured, jewel-like — applied directly to the canvas at her shoulder, at her hip, and at the hem, each cluster catching light like a brooch of pure luxury. At her waist, a polka dot belt in grey and white adds a graphic precision. Long pink gloves reach past her elbows. In one hand, a pink structured handbag with a bow detail. Her wide-brimmed pink hat is magnificent — feathers in white and blush sweep upward from the brim, and painted flowers in soft rose and peach bloom at the crown. Her long blonde hair falls in soft waves below it. The background is pure, deep black — a void that makes every shade of pink glow with impossible warmth. Pure paint, pure beads, pure Barbie. A one-of-a-kind original by Branka, created once and never again.
