Antonella basks in the last rays of sunlight, lying on an inflatable mattress floating on the sea. Her expression is that of a mature woman, someone who gazes at something familiar—something we cannot see. The painting is built on primary colors: the blue of the sea, the red of the sun, and a sky streaked with flashes of yellow. Using primary colors gives the image a kind of primal strength. The waters beneath the mattress are almost black, as dark as the unconscious itself—a hidden current that pulls us toward the open ocean of instinct.
