Curatorial Statement:
Lupita is a portrait charged with emotional ambiguity and gestural restraint, emblematic of ArNoUx’s German Expressionist approach. The figure of a woman—delicately suggested in black ink and softened brushstrokes—emerges from a background of muted yet vibrant color washes in pink, orange, green, and ash tones. The off-centered posture and minimalist facial features evoke a quiet defiance and introspective stillness. A mysterious square garment, rendered with expressive black brushwork, encloses the body, contrasting with the looseness of the background. The work captures the tension between internal identity and external perception, resonating with themes of feminine strength, elegance, and solitude.
