"Alone on his planet, Saint-Exupéry’s little prince has only a rose as his companion. One night, he dreamt the rose turned into a girl." - Brandusa Niro
In The Little Prince, the model's soft, expressive face contrasts vividly against a bright yellow background, evoking both innocence and depth. The hand resting on her head, holding a flower, hints at contemplation, while the wide eyes suggest wonder and wisdom. The title nods to Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, capturing themes of innocence and discovery. The flower symbolizes fragility and beauty, blending simplicity with philosophical depth. Niro's minimalist composition, combined with her subject's emotive gaze, creates a striking, thought-provoking piece.
