Product description
This work by Eleonora Stol presents a subtle, almost fleeting depiction of human figures in motion. With loose brushstrokes in red, white, gold, and black, the artist creates an image that balances between figuration and abstraction.
Central, we see two figures standing close together, as if in conversation or sharing an intimate embrace. Their contours are not sharply defined, but dissolve into smudges and accents of color, creating a sense of transience and remembrance. The red background, applied in expressive strokes, suggests an inner glow—passion, emotion, or a lingering memory.
The brushstrokes are playful and intuitive, with a visible delight in the sketchy and the unfinished. This gives the work a vibrant, human, and direct feel.
Signed and dated: 'Noortje Stol '93'
Inspired by the classical Greek play "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes
Eleonora Josephine Stol was born on March 30, 1946, in Leiden, the Netherlands. She died on January 13, 2022. She was often known by the nickname "La Roja," after her characteristic love of the color red and her theatrical appearance. Artistic vision and style Stol saw her work as "art that is sincere and created from within, created from passion and a relentless fighting spirit." Her work is characterized by a recognizable and expressive style, in which the interplay of color, emotion, and imagination take center stage. Many of her works are constructed at the intersection of dream and reality: surprising, interwoven images in which themes from her private life, popular culture, and art historical motifs are often present, whether subtle or not. Influences from surrealism, the concept of automatic painting, and the theatrical nature of her images are frequently cited as references.
