Simone de Beauvoir – Original Oil on Canvas (130 × 150 cm)
A contemplative and multi-layered portrait honouring the philosopher and writer Simone de Beauvoir. Painted in subtle hues of rose, sage, and ochre, this large-scale work explores the complexity of identity, reflection, and thought. The composition weaves two figures — the woman and her shadow self — suggesting the duality between intellect and emotion, public persona and private self.
The lone chess piece in the foreground symbolises strategy, agency, and the quiet power of decision — themes deeply connected to de Beauvoir’s legacy. Ethereal flowers and soft transitions of light add a dreamlike atmosphere, balancing strength with sensitivity.
This is an original oil painting by Julia Evangeli, created with professional pigments on a high-quality stretched canvas. The edges are painted, ready to hang, and the artwork is signed on the front and back.
