Leopard and Dancer, acrylic painting on canvas by Barbara Iori, 2025

Leopard and Dancer, acrylic painting on canvas by Barbara Iori, aka Bajo, made in 2025, measures 100 x 100 cm. "Leopard with Dancer" by Barbara Iori (Bajo) is a lively and symbolic work that combines animal strength and human grace. The large frontal face of the leopard dominates the scene, with intense green eyes that convey a sense of vigilance and power. To its right, a dark dancer with graceful and sensual movements in a green dress seems to visually merge with the beast, creating a dialogue between instinct and harmony, ferocity and art. The bright colors, the marked lines and the frontal composition give energy and theatricality to a painting that speaks of nature and femininity in a contemporary key.
