Style and uniqueness of the piece
Permeke's style is characterized by an expressionist approach that transcends mere figurative art. In "Femme en prière," the forms are simplified, almost stylized, emphasizing the universal nature of the scene. The color palette chosen by the artist evokes deep emotions, oscillating between warm tones and darker shades, symbolizing inner struggles and spiritual aspirations. The woman's posture, with hands clasped and face turned towards the sky, reflects a search for peace and connection with the divine. This stylistic choice, blending abstraction and reality, allows the artwork to transcend time and resonate across generations, demonstrating a rare artistic sensitivity.
