Vatra
2020 acrylic on canvas 36 x 24'“ $2,500
Vatra (meaning “fire” in Montenegrin) reimagines actress Tamara Dobson — Cleopatra Jones incarnate — as a fierce guardian. Turning over her white-furred shoulder, her hair blazes while her eyes burn against a crimson field. White Balkan protection symbols encircle her neck like sacred code — marks of universal protection and female resilience. Behind her, a scrawled black city—or forest—smolders in abstraction, a world undone as she looks away, unscathed and unafraid.
