Sergo Tbileli's artwork "Nude" was created in 2006. And represents a pristine beautiful women figure laying in the open yellow field with a curled up wolf resting besides her while she has her outstretched hand on its head. This artwork represents the strength of the feminine nature has and how it intertwines with the nature. Some viewers might see Aphrodite or a parallel to goddesses of hunt such as artemis in the female figure who encompass similar virtues
The female figure's body is nude and laid out in an open field. Her long flowing hair is draped over both of her shoulder, giving her an ethereal look, like she is from another time or place. The wolf that lies beside her looks almost like it is protecting her, like it knows its duty to keep her safe from harm. The woman's hand rests on its head as if she is communicating with it.
The female figure is extremely powerful and can be easily identified as a dominant character in this painting. Her arms are relaxed that with the tranqiule pose she is in bring gracfulness to the composition as well as make her look very tall, especially when you consider that she is laying on a resting white wolf. The wolf looks like it does not have any power over her at all, unlike some other paintings where wolves are depicted as being more powerful than humans; however, this painting depicts something different: The female figure appears to be in control of both herself and her surroundings which make it seem like she is controlling everything around her including animals such as wolves.
The background of this painting is also an important part of it because it helps make sense of what we're looking at as well as make us question how we read into images like these.
In the far background away from the magnificiant field of flowers we see the bustling city that introduces a small chaos to the world of this painting.
