This Acrylic on Canvas titled “I choose for myself!” is a masterpiece of Expressionism. The artist Purnima Dabholkar is an acrylic and oil on canvas artist. Figurative art is her specialty. Here in this art, she has made a very bold attempt to bring versatility by mixing the ideas of Pop Art and Expressionism. The focal point of the painting is a female visage, showcasing sharp features and defined jawlines. Her dusky complexion, enhanced by broad lips and dark kohl-lined eyes, radiates strength and authenticity.
The artist's attention to detail is evident in the portrayal of the subject's adornments — a gajra delicately gracing her curly hair, artfully tied into a bun and a prominent bindi on her forehead. This amalgamation of traditional elements with a contemporary artistic approach captures the essence of the choices that women make for themselves.
The infusion of expressionism in this painting elevates the emotional resonance of the artwork. Here the protagonist looks straight into the eyes of the beholder as if boldly taking responsibility for her life and choices. The bold strokes and vibrant colors employed by the artist convey a depth of feeling, allowing the observer to connect with the subject on a visceral level. The exaggerated features, particularly the intense gaze and pronounced jawlines, intensify the emotional impact of the artwork, making it a standout example of how expressionism can infuse vitality and intensity into contemporary Pop Art.
