Miss DJ

This work features a three-quarter view of a woman, painted in a palette of green tones. The composition is covered with floral motifs, which seem to merge with the woman's skin, adding a decorative layer that blurs the understanding of the scene. The figure holds a record player in her hands and is about to start the music, as befits her role as "Miss DJ". Thick pink polka dots are scattered across the canvas, adding a touch of color, while strands of pink rhinestones, forming feet, catch the light and contrast with the composition's dark background. Combined with the glossy varnish rendering of the canvas, the light catches the surface of the work and gives it an extra decorative dimension. Ana Cristina Leite depicts a contemporary genre scene as if she were freezing a moment of celebration. To underline this festive moment, she incorporates an array of festive elements, including rhinestones, pink polka dots and prints, and depicts dance, music and fantasy.
