The Winter Palace by Myriam Van Calster presents a dreamlike composition populated by layered female faces with varied expressions, some in profile and others facing forward. The figures, framed by red, blonde, and ash-toned hair, emerge from a background dominated by deep winter blues and soft luminous textures.
A stylized palace-like structure and delicate tree forms appear within the composition, evoking an imaginary winter landscape filled with mystery and poetry. Geometric motifs, fine lines, and graphic hatching enrich the surface, while touches of metallic light create subtle reflections and movement across the canvas.
Through this contemporary figurative painting, Myriam Calster creates a poetic visual universe where faces, memory, architecture, and emotion blend together in a vibrant and meditative atmosphere. The artwork combines contemporary art, stylized portraits, layered textures, expressive color, and poetic abstraction.
