Fake 

Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze's "Fake" is a striking portrait of a woman adorned with a dramatic red feathered headdress. The subject's gaze is both alluring and melancholic, suggesting a complex inner life. Rendered in loose, expressive brushstrokes, the painting evokes a sense of theatrical performance, capturing a fleeting moment of dramatic intensity. The background is a rich tapestry of warm and cool tones, echoing the vibrancy of the subject's attire. This evocative work invites viewers to consider the performance of identity and the interplay between reality and illusion.
