Ida

Ida is an original acrylic painting on an 18" x 24" canvas — a portrait of a woman in the middle of her ritual, and she is magnificent at it. She wears a white towel wrapped around her head in a high turban, and a white robe or towel draped loosely around her shoulders — fresh from the shower, not yet dressed, already entirely in command. Large orange-framed cat-eye sunglasses sit on her face, their dark lenses reflecting two small white points of light. Beneath them, her bold red lips are being applied — a lip gloss wand held with practiced precision in one hand, a ring catching the light on her finger. From her ears hang dramatic oversized spiral hoop earrings — silver-white, graphic, and completely deliberate. The background is a swirl of deep purple, blue, and white — loose, gestural, luminous — suggesting a mirror, a dressing room, a private world where getting ready is an art form. Pure paint, pure ritual, pure Ida. A one-of-a-kind original by Branka, created once and never again.
