A humid hush settles over a tropical hotel courtyard, where the pool glows with an otherworldly greenish hue, catching the last flickers of daylight as the evening sky deepens into electric blue. It’s just past 7:00pm, that suspended moment between leisure and longing.
In the distance, a woman stands alone on a balcony, her silhouette lit by the amber interior glow of her hotel room. She seems unaware (or perhaps fully aware) of being watched. There’s an undercurrent of voyeurism: the viewer is placed just within the shadows, half-concealed behind an architectural element, as if intruding quietly into someone else’s private moment.
The composition toys with cinematic tension: warm light and tropical modernism contrast against the still, hypnotic water. The tall trees in the background lean like silent witnesses. This isn’t just a poolside scene - it’s a mood. A still from a film that never existed.
The painting invites questions: Is the woman waiting for someone? Is the viewer an accidental observer or a silent accomplice? What story unfolds behind the orange glow of that hotel room window?
