Choices 

Vicente Romero’s painting invites us into a private moment using soft pastels. The composition is built around contrasts: the cool blues and greens of the outside world seen through the window, versus the warm reds and pinks of the interior. Romero uses the bright red fabric as a focal point, drawing our eye and creating a dynamic interplay with the woman's figure. The texture is soft yet palpable, with each stroke of pastel adding to the tactile sensation. Semiotically, the open window can be read as a symbol of possibilities. The garment perhaps represents transformation, and her poised stance suggests contemplation. Note how the artist doesn’t offer closure. The woman’s back is turned; her thoughts remain her own. This openness invites each of us to bring our own interpretations, reflecting the ever-evolving nature of meaning in art.
