A woman caught mid-turn. Her red dress sweeps around her, lit by warm stage light and framed by shadow. In Flame in Motion, Anatoly Metlan focuses on gesture and energy rather than detail. The brushwork is textured, impulsive, almost abstract in places, yet the composition holds its balance. Light and color carry the scene as much as the figure herself. This is not a portrait. It’s a moment of movement, captured just before it disappears.
