Explore the timeless elegance of women in art with this captivating abstract art painting in acrylic, a circular portrait measuring 40cm in diameter. Rendered in earthy tones of greens, blacks, and browns, this painting features a splash-effect background and stunning silver metallic paint that shimmers beautifully in the light, adding depth and sophistication to the piece.
Inspired by William Shakespeare’s Dark Lady Sonnets (127-154), this artwork pays homage to the celebrated poet’s description of a dark-skinned woman who defied the conventional standards of beauty in his time. Speculated to be of Mediterranean descent, the Dark Lady symbolizes an unconventional and striking allure—a narrative that artist Jedidah brings to life through this evocative painting.
Crafted using spray paint and bold splash techniques, this abstract art painting in acrylic captures the essence of individuality and the beauty of imperfection.
CXXVII
In the old age black was not counted fair,
Or if it were, it bore not beauty’s name;
But now is black beauty’s successive heir,
And beauty slandered with a bastard shame:
For since each hand hath put on Nature’s power,
Fairing the foul with Art’s false borrowed face,
Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,
But is profaned, if not lives in disgrace.
Therefore my mistress’ eyes are raven black,
Her eyes so suited, and they mourners seem
At such who, not born fair, no beauty lack,
Sland’ring creation with a false esteem:
Yet so they mourn becoming of their woe,
That every tongue says beauty should look so.
CXXXI
Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art,
As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel;
For well thou know’st to my dear doting heart
Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel.
Yet, in good faith, some say that thee behold,
Thy face hath not the power to make love groan;
To say they err I dare not be so bold,
Although I swear it to myself alone.
And to be sure that is not false I swear,
A thousand groans, but thinking on thy face,
One on another’s neck, do witness bear
Thy black is fairest in my judgment’s place.
In nothing art thou black save in thy deeds,
And thence this slander, as I think, proceeds.
The painting is dated and comes signed on the front and back and has a certificate of authenticity.
