Part of a tryptich of three paintings from the mid-1990s, the work represents one of the artist’s first forays into a more reddish color palette with pale white figures, which later became her signature in the early 2000s. Here the red mixes with the turquoise period which is very emblematic of her works in the 1990s. As always, the turban clad female figure is present, showing her the world of fairytales and powerful female representations.
