Ballet Dancer 1984

"Ballet Dancer" is a watercolor painting created by Petros Malayan in 1984. The painting depicts a ballet dancer sitting on a stool, tying her pointe shoes. Malayan's loose brushstrokes and muted color palette create a sense of intimacy and focus on the dancer's movement and preparation for performance. The use of watercolor allows for a sense of fluidity and movement, reflecting the grace and agility of ballet. The painting offers a glimpse into the backstage life of a dancer, a world often hidden from public view.
