ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting is a visual ode to the strength, mystique, and cultural richness of Tibetan women. In Tibetan Woman 4, the woman takes center stage as a symbol of the connection between past and present. Her expressive gaze is calm yet powerful — an invitation for the viewer to pause and truly see.
The colorful, hand-painted braids and beads refer to Tibetan rituals, heritage, and spiritual wealth. The large turquoise ornament on her head alludes to the protective qualities of gemstones within Tibetan Buddhism.
The vivid red background evokes warmth and vitality, while also forming a striking contrast with the model’s cool, almost meditative presence. This interplay highlights the tension between outer beauty and inner peace — a recurring theme in Wagtmans’ work.
Her clothing is richly detailed with ornamental patterns in gold and deep blue, reminiscent of royal fabrics and ceremonial garments. Every detail is executed with great care and precision, giving the work a tangible sense of depth and texture.
