I painted this picture just back from England, where I had the opportunity to visit some famous galleries and museums. This painting is the result of my perception of European women, who love to dye their hair very colorful. And this is something I've noticed for a long time and in different countries there... I've seen it a lot in England, but I've also seen this trend years ago in Spain, France, Germany etc.
Her narrative is of a European woman arriving in Rio and seeing the sea. That's why the name of the painting is the beach, because it's a reflection of what she sees. And you know what I see: a sea of possibilities. It made me want to change the name of this painting to European Woman Facing a Sea of Opportunities. I'll think about it more... ; )
