Original oil on stretched 120cm x 60cm canvas, produced in cooperation with Marc Haegeman (Thanks Marc)

Mariinski Theatre's Kirov Ballet, her ethereal figure and outstretched arm, reaches with a sense of sadness, seduced by death, searching for the impending doom as the woman in white in her emotive rendition of Balanchine's gripping La Valse, one of his most innovative and vibrant ballets...

Both the ballerina and the plain black background are painted entirely with a knife. A high level of contrast is provided.

There's many more figurative, dance and portrait fine art original oil paintings, pastels and gicleé prints on my website: R Young Art

Prints are now only available via my website, though I do sign them. I have disabled all prints of my artwork on DA in protest as they removed my featured artwork, didn't adhere to their own policies and ignored my communications so I don't see why I should contribute financially with print commissions...

"Evolution didn't stop with us getting thumbs. There are a lot of metaphysical, spiritual, and emotional changes going on right now, and we're just trying to reflect that. We're not that different from Tori Amos" ~ Maynard James Keenan
The detailing is incredible! I am a dancer and this is amazing, inspirational, thank you!

And I'm afraid for the world to see me, cause I don't think they'd...
UNDERSTAND.

Someday you'll sing it out LOUD!
One day this will make you PROUD!
