Dreamlike layers suspended in motion.
Somnolence by Marie P. Mudafort is an oil on canvas that explores the threshold between the real and the imagined. A woman’s face glows subtly from the background, partially veiled by sweeping strokes of textured paint. At the center, a genie-style lamp hovers, its presence both mystical and symbolic, suggesting the weight of memory, desire, or wish.
The surface is alive with contrast. Large, expressive oil brushstrokes rest above a base layer of soft, blended hues that recall the fluidity of tie-dye or vapor. This interplay between precision and looseness creates depth, movement, and a sense of shifting dream states.
Both enigmatic and magnetic, this artwork would make a striking statement wall piece, transforming any space with its scale and layered symbolism.
