In this work by Alberto Juárez, a female figure seen from behind delicately arranges her hair, revealing the tension between the intimate and the ephemeral. Her nudity, subtly rendered in charcoal and graphite tones, is accompanied by a skull adorned with a rose, a classic symbol of vanitas: beauty and youth confronted with the inevitable presence of death. The scene evokes a melancholic contemplation of time, where the everyday gesture of arranging one's hair becomes an act of resistance against the fleeting. A highly symbolic work that combines eroticism, fragility, and existential reflection.
