A pair of sunglasses, slipped down to the tip of her nose, reveals the direct gaze of this girl—Pamela—who carries a fiery, mischievous air. The painting uses an acidic, anti-naturalistic palette. One half of her face is dominated by red, while the other is cast in a deep, inky black, as if to show that Pamela’s bright traits have their own shadowed, distorted reflections. She can be sweet as honey or sting like a bee.
