Belladonna, is a work of Safir-Rifas’s collection.

Belladonna. This work was inspired by Gustave Klimt’s painting Water Snakes and Danae. “Belladonna” is an oil painting on canvas and is part of the “Anima” series. As the title suggests, “Belladonna” is a portrait of female beauty whose features are idealized, but like the flower of the same name, her beauty can be a poison or a cure. So, like a flower whose beauty we distinguish and appreciate by the colors of the petals or the shape of the leaves, Belladonna is a painting in which I depicted the concept of beauty as the personification of a soft-faced woman with plump lips, blue-green eyes, surrounded from blond and curly hair that frame the vermilion dress with natural decorations, and spread out on the background decorated with various shapes and motifs.
