Description
This painting features Flamenco and is the third in a series on the emotion of dance.
Flamenco is an art-form based on the various folkloric music traditions of Andalucia, southern Spain. It includes cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dance), jaleo (vocalizations and chorus clapping), palmas (handclapping) and pitos (finger snapping).
It is believed to have originated in the Romany Gypsy community during the 18th Century and is a mixture of joy and sorrow, expressing the deep feelings held by the Gypsies about their way of life.
The music is said to evoke a mysterious power, Duende, a Spanish term for a heightened state of emotion which is strongly felt but cannot be explained. This female dancer is lost in her own narrative. Her posture is powerful and her gaze reaches out and beyond the audience as she expresses her innermost feelings and pride in her heritage.
