A moment at the dressing table 💄

In this painting, Salman Toor brings us into an intimate interior filled with personal items. Cosmetics, bottles and everyday objects surround the reflected figure, while loose brushstrokes and vivid colours capture the energy and atmosphere of the scene. As the weekend begins, the gesture leaves us wondering about the plans that might lie ahead, and the stories contained within this private moment.
