The piece emerges as a vibrant and penetrating homage to the figure of Catwoman, inspired by the unparalleled Eartha Kitt, whose spirit is captured on the canvas with mastery and brazen boldness. The artist employs a mixed media technique, starting with acrylic to outline the bold contours and fill areas with pure color, then layering oil for richer shades and intricate details. Catwoman is caught in the elegant act of theft, a diamond necklace sparkling between the fingers of her right hand, highlighting her nature as a skilled thief.
The phrase "Follow your purpose" flashes in the neon style typical of billboards in the background, serving not only as an echo of pop culture but also as an affirmation of Catwoman's philosophy. She acts according to her nature, following a path that is inherently her own, without excuses or regrets.
The setting is a ledge overlooking Miami's intracoastal, where urban architecture and the lights of buildings blend to create a captivating and vibrant nocturnal landscape. The choice to place Catwoman on this precarious boundary between sky and water reflects her own existence on the margins of society, an ambiguous figure living between the roles of heroine and criminal.
The artist thus pays tribute to an iconic character while also exploring broader themes of identity, power, and purpose in a world that constantly teeters between light and darkness, order and chaos. With this work, the artist invites the viewer to consider the contrast between the fleeting thrill of the act of theft and the pursuit of deeper meaning in life, all within the lively and opulent context of Miami by night.
