J. Hanter

In Cautiva dorada , J. Hanter continues her sensitive exploration of femininity and interiority through a composition that is both powerful and poetic. The portrait of a woman, in profile, with closed eyes and a peaceful face, occupies the entire verticality of the canvas. Her dark, flowing and slightly tormented hair becomes the support for a sumptuous ornament, made of stylized golden motifs evoking leaves, cells, genetic imprints or plant adornments. These golden acrylic lines, with an almost calligraphic ornamental precision, intertwine in the hair like a precious cage, both captivating and protective. They seem to hold, as if suspended, the thought or memory of the figure represented, while emphasizing its mystery. The background, in warm, velvety tones, highlights the delicacy of the face, treated in oil with soft modeling and a subtle palette. The whole gives off an impression of inner silence, abandonment, and chosen captivity. With Cautiva dorada , J. Hanter questions the link between ornament and identity, between constraint and beauty. The work evokes a duality between symbolic confinement and inner wealth, suggesting that some prisons are made of gold, but also of dreams.

The Angel's Stroke is a powerful and luminous work that fuses the delicacy of realistic portraiture with symbolic abstraction. At the center of the composition, a female figure, her eyes closed, appears suspended in a moment of profound serenity and elevation. The soft modeling of the skin, executed in oil, contrasts with the boldness of the golden lines drawn in acrylic, which unfold in an upward movement, like wings or celestial flames. These fine, dynamic lines evoke both the lightness of breath and the power of divine energy. They draw a stylized aura around the figure's head and bust, featuring a crown, hair, and angelic wings. The canvas is tinged with a range of pinkish beiges and golds, reinforcing the softness and spirituality of the scene. Through this work, J. Hanter explores the boundary between the human and the sacred, between the visible and the invisible. El trazo del ángel is both a tribute to inner grace and an invitation to let oneself be traversed by a greater, silent, and luminous force.
