The artwork features a striking, surreal portrait of a woman's face. The colors are primarily dark, with a black background and shades of gray, white, and purple used to depict the subject.

Tali Lennox is a figurative painter whose dreamlike paintings evoke scenes of erotic and decadent chambers and mystifying landscapes seemingly from both a bygone era and a mythology of her own creation. The magnetism of the work stems from this desire to play with and explore parallels between the human and spiritual, the domestic and the universal.
