Description : With Blooming Veil (2018), Antonia Beauvoir signs a powerful, enigmatic work that blurs the boundaries between classical portraiture, floral symbolism and contemporary mystery. In this color silkscreen, a faceless female figure is enveloped in a sumptuous drape of pink and cream silk, from which bright flowers burst forth. The luminous, pastoral background accentuates the contrast between the baroque elegance of the garment and the mystery of the veiled figure.
This gazeless, featureless portrait becomes a universal icon of femininity, dreams and metamorphosis. The work evokes the fragility of identity and the beauty of silence, while paying homage to the great masters of classical portraiture through its theatrical staging and pictorial finesse.
Blooming Veil is part of Antonia Beauvoir’s research into the aesthetic codes of the past, reinterpreted with a resolutely contemporary vision.
