Intimate nude of a seated pregnant woman, painted in 1998 by Johan Van Vlaenderen in oil on canvas, illuminated by natural light.
This large-scale painting depicts a seated pregnant woman in an interior setting, positioned on a simple chair beside a window. The incoming daylight shapes the figure and accentuates both the physical presence of pregnancy and the contemplative pose of the model. Van Vlaenderen employs an expressive yet controlled brushwork and a warm, rich palette of purples, blues, ochres and earthy tones. Shadows are imbued with colour and play an active role in the overall atmosphere. The nude is approached with sensitivity rather than eroticism, presenting the figure as both vulnerable and powerful, characteristic of Van Vlaenderen’s figurative work in which light, sensuality and human presence are central.
