| dc.description | My composition, inspired by Caravaggio’s Bacchus, explores Baroque themes of divine creation and human imperfection. The central figure, draped in rich crimson and gold fabric, symbolizes pleasure, while wilting fruit and shadows suggest decay and change, echoing Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro and the Baroque fascination with life's fleeting beauty. This duality is also reflected in Surah At-Takathur (102:1-2), highlighting humanity's divine perfection and earthly flaws. The mixed-media piece involved drawing the figure with charcoal, layering acrylic paint for texture, using gold leaf for a halo effect, and attaching dried grape leaves with gel medium. A final ink wash enhanced the chiaroscuro, balancing Baroque beauty with raw humanity to tell a tale of fragility and creation. | |
