Winter 2018

Harmonia Rosales' "Winter" (2018) is a portrait painting of a young woman with albinism. The subject's closed eyes and soft expression, combined with the decorative floral background, create a sense of peace and serenity. Rosales is known for her exploration of themes of beauty and identity, particularly within the African diaspora, through her realistic and detailed portraits. The use of light and shadow, along with the contrasting colors of the background, highlight the subject's skin tone and its unique characteristics. "Winter" is a poignant and sensitive work that celebrates diversity and challenges traditional beauty standards.
