Beautification (Woman and Lizards)

Suspended in a velvety blue expanse, the nude figure curls around a lizard with a tenderness that feels both protective and primordial, as if intimacy has slipped back into myth. Warm ochres and amber highlights model the body like a small, terrestrial sun, while the surrounding line-work—part creature, part current—suggests a threshold where water, dream, and memory mingle. The composition drifts diagonally, turning the embrace into a slow fall or ascent, and the lizard becomes an emissary of instinct: a symbol of renewal, shedding, and the quiet persistence of the natural world against human vulnerability.
