An Ode to Maria. Beginning

This portrait commemorates the centenary of opera legend Maria Callas. It captures the pivotal moment when the opera stage's curtains part, bathing her face in the soft glow of the spotlights. Her eyes shimmer with anticipation as she prepares to enthrall the audience. This painting encapsulates the essence of that exhilarating, heart-pounding moment at the start of an opera, which I believe is the most crucial and captivating. It's a tribute to the timeless excitement she brought to the world of Opera. The collector of this 1/1 digital artwork will also receive and be shipped at no additional cost the physical painting - which is a 21 cm by 29.7 cm oil-on-paper painting, signed by artist Tania Rivilis.
