Watercolour “You are my crime”, 2012 by Anna Dart

 

"You are my crime" captures a woman, elegantly laid on the floor, her chin resting on her shoulder as if deliberately hiding her visage or, perhaps, accentuating the graceful contour of her neck and shoulders. The viewer's gaze is immediately drawn to her lustrous black curly hair, complemented by a striking black dress that elegantly frames her décolleté, and her bold eyelashes.

 

Half of the painting is dominated by the textured floor, marred with passionate scratches, seemingly imprinted by the fervent strokes of Dart's nails—a raw expression of intensity. The upper half, in stark contrast, presents a serene horizontal portrait of the woman, a balance of stillness and fervor. Characteristic of Dart's signature style, the watercolor possesses hues reminiscent of a burnout photo, infusing the artwork with a nostalgic and almost ethereal quality. "You are my crime" is a must-have for those who truly appreciate the intricacies of Anna´s artistic journey.
