Romance and mystery are the fuse and the spark that set Trish Biddle’s sensual “Spanish Heat” aflame. Deep, velvety colors against a pool of dark shadows accentuate the erotic undercurrents of the painting, inspired by Argentinean tango dancers. Initially an illustrator and textile designer, Biddle intentionally obscured the faces in this work, allowing viewers to create their own storyline. Biddle’s design training is evident in her Art-Deco paintings, which capture the era’s fashion, elegance and simplicity. Backgrounds of textiles, ironwork and architecture are influenced by her own designs and travels. Biddle's works are published and collected worldwide. This piece pairs well with “Evening Tango.”
