Artwork description

Visual Description
The painting features a striking, stylized composition with bold colours and clean lines. A woman with a long, thick braid cascading down her back stands gracefully, her figure elongated and elegant. She wears a traditional white Nashel thobe, adorned with golden motifs and an intricate embroidered border that runs vertically. Her arms are stretched outward, hands gently open, as if releasing or offering freedom.
From her palm, a white dove takes flight, wings spread wide. Behind the bird glows a large, radiant orange circle, symbolic of the sun, set against a vibrant yellow background that floods the canvas with warmth and energy.
