Original Crayon on Canvas Portrait of Traditional Dancer, "The Unification Of Soul"

Choosing crayon on canvas to best express her feelings about the subject, the talented Nany S. paints a portrait of a traditionally-garbed Pajegan topeng dancer. Such dances generally depict ancient legends and are accompanied by traditional gamelan music. In this composition, the artist has captured a private moment where the dancer is gazing at the mask he will wear. "What I want to express is how the dancer views his mask that he is going to wear; the process of unification of soul between the dancer and his mask," the artist states.
