Canons of Beauty 2
This work portrays a slender young woman whose fragility appears tense and quietly vulnerable. Her body seems shaped by the desire to meet strict, imposed standards — a pursuit that often creates inner discomfort and a lingering sense of insufficiency. This is not an ideal, but a state: a moment when striving for “perfection” becomes excessive and begins to influence one’s sense of self.
The thin, almost trembling lines emphasize delicacy, restraint, and the subtle pressure that accompanies constant self-monitoring. On torchon paper, with its skin-like texture, the image becomes especially sensitive — a body that seems to waver between wanting to disappear and wanting to be seen.
This work is part of the diptych “Canons of Beauty”, where it forms a dialogue with the second piece — the image of a soft, full-figured woman.
How to Frame Your Artwork
Works on paper (drawings / prints on paper)
I ship works on paper unframed. Ready-made frames are easy to find (e.g., IKEA’s classic RIBBA). Most include a white mat (mount) that lets the artwork “breathe.”
- Choose white or black frames/mats to suit your space.
- Black mats usually need to be purchased separately.
- You can echo a color from the piece (e.g., a subtle green frame) or pick an ornate wooden frame for a more classic/gothic interior.
Canvas paintings
Canvases are usually displayed without an outer frame—the edges are painted as a continuation of the image for a clean, contemporary look.
If you prefer a frame, choose an open (floater) frame: it mounts from behind and leaves a slim gap around the canvas, adding visual “air” without covering the composition.
Art prints
Many of my prints are offered already framed and marked on the product page as “Framed Print.” In that case, no extra framing is needed.
I also offer unframed prints at a lower price—perfect if you want to choose your own frame. For unframed options, standard ready-made frames (like IKEA RIBBA) work well; canvas prints pair beautifully with floater frames. Please check each listing’s details for size and finish.
