This evocative artwork titled “Sofoco” portrays a woman caught in an intense moment, suspended between discomfort and determination. Standing with one foot on a chair, she tries to catch her breath while a red fan trembles in her hand — a symbol of both relief and restrained passion. Dressed in black with lace stockings, her figure contrasts sharply with the quiet, domestic setting around her: a room with patterned tiles and soft lighting that seems to amplify the heat of the scene. Her upward gaze reflects a mix of exhaustion, pride, and defiance, as if the “sofoco” were more than physical — a metaphor for pressure, desire, or resistance. The piece blends realism with emotional expression, capturing the complexity of a woman who, even in vulnerability, radiates strength and authenticity within a traditional environment.
